Verse 1:
C majorC G+G C majorC
She’s just a girl born in stormy weather
A minorAm DmDm G+G
Her heart a victim of the wreckage left behind
C majorC G+G A minorAm
But she’s somehow managed to pull it all together
A minorAm DmDm G+G
Strong enough to dig a hole and bury it inside
Verse 2:
C majorC G+G C majorC
And the boys in her town seem to take pleasure
A minorAm DmDm G+G
In mining little hard pieces to help them feel alive
C majorC C majorC A minorAm
And the cycle seems eternalized forever
A minorAm DmDm G+G
Leaving ripples in its way, rolling through all times
Chorus:
FF G+G C majorC
Now she says "Lock the door behind when you leave the bed
A minorAm G+G C majorC
I've learned the hard way it’s better to rest instead
FF G+G DmDm
Of worry on these things I can’t control
A minorAm G+G
If there’s something that needs said
FF A minorAm
Let me climb down in this hole
FF G+G C majorC A minorAm
Because I’ve only have one heart to break
FF G+G C majorC
So be gentle when you let me down"

Bridge:
FF G+G C majorC
There’s no easy way to prove that I’m a keeper
FF G+G C majorC
Consistency lacks what a ring provides
FF G+G C majorC
So we’ll go on holding on like this together
FF G+G C majorC A minorAm
Clearing any wreckage for those following behind
Chorus:
FF G+G C majorC
Now she says "Lock the door behind when you leave the bed
A minorAm G+G C majorC
I've learn the hard way it’s better to rest instead
FF G+G DmDm
Of worry on these things I can’t control
A minorAm G+G
If there’s something that need said
FF A minorAm
Let me climb down in this hole
FF G+G C majorC A minorAm
'Cause I’ve only have one heart to break
FF G+G C majorC
So be gentle when you let me down
FF G+G C majorC
So be gentle when you let me down"
