Intro 1

Verse 1
F 
Silly girl,
E 
Am 
silly girl
G 
F 
Why'd you have
E 
to go and do that?
A 
She loved to run,
Bb 
A 
run far from everyone,
G 
couldn't really open up to love
F 
Nobody really knew
A 
what went on up inside that skull
E 
Years spent feeling cold and numb,
Am 
A 
she even cut her own mother off
Dad too spent six years
Am 
living in a studio dump
G 
F 
Drank bottles of vodka
till the sunrise hit each morning
E 
A 
Spewing everything she sunk,
G 
Am 
she won't pick up
A 
Phone calls from friends or lovers,
G 
Am 
all she got is a brother that she hardly sees
G 
F 
Her friends don't bother no more,
Am 
F 
she's shut off from the world
E 
Am 
Eyes green, they start to bleed,
A 
alone in a car with her apartment keys
G 
Cos everything else grew apart with ease,
F 
her anxiety rose while laughter ceased
A 
E 
Hated go ing outside
G 
to feel half a breeze
Am 
I wish you let me in,
F 
Bb 
you let depression win
F 
E 
You let the devil sweep you off your feet,
Am 
take you away
Bb 
Am 
I felt it in  my heart,
G 
F 
the thought breaks me apart
E 
I'd do anything to go back
to make sure you were safe
A 
Am 
Too much of a challenge for most
G 
Alone in the river she would paddle a boat
F 
Pale white skin looking like an actual ghost
E 
In fact comfort is what she
lacked in her bones
A 
Monday nights she would
E 
chat to a bloke
F 
That gave her the time to unravel a rope
Never got much closer than that though
A 
E 
He cut all ties when she began to explode
Am 
A 
She sat in the too hard basket,
years on end,
G 
Am 
G 
pretty but couldn't keep half a friend
F 
Port headliners where she
Am 
F 
rotted inside
E 
and let the demons creep
A 
up inside of her head
She liked to pretend
she stood higher than them,
G 
Am 
but the truth be told she was
F 
right on the edge
About to snap, crackle and pop,
Bb 
Am 
fly to her death,
E 
blamed everyone else
A 
Am 
for the life she had wrecked
A 
She sleeps with a knife rested by her bed,
G 
eyes wide open like I don't rest
F 
Paranoia from the nights as a child
She bled out tears,
E 
A 
nine years of silence kept
Am 
I wish you let me in
G 
Am 
You let depression win
Bb 
F 
You let the devil sweep
E 
you off your feet,
Am 
take you away
F 
Bb 
Am 
I felt it in  my heart
G 
Bbm 
The thought breaks me apart
F 
E 
I'd do anything to go back
to make sure you were safe
F 
A 
She made me angry
Am 
I couldn't work her out to save me
G 
I get swept in when they're
a little bit crazy
F 
She could have been my sweet skinny lady
E 
Instead she fled,
gone missing for days, see
A 
I  don't know if she dead or alive
F 
G 
I don't know if her intentions were right
F 
I don't know if she just found
a sweet spot to hide
E 
G 
Or drift off out into the night
A 
It would be a waste of my time
If I kept wondering why
G 
E 
I just really hope she survived
G 
F 
Wherever she is
I just hope that she's safe
from the demons
E 
That crept up inside of her mind
G 
A 
I'm just a man I'm not the lord
G 
You should understand
why I had to cut cords
F 
You took off and ran, to the airport
E 
One way ticket to the land of torn
A 
Round of applause
Eight steps backwards you walked
On the edge of a cliff
you paced back and forth
F 
I felt it in my heart
when you ran for the fall
E 
Then my heart broke
when your face smashed on the floor
My devilish angel
