Verse 1:
  E minorEm              B minorBm
She hears his heavy breathing in  the dark
  E minorEm              C majorC
His footsteps coming closer down the hall
   A minorAm                B minorBm
She's so ashamed, she's daddy's secret love
  A minorAm               B minorBm        E MajorE     E minorEm
She wants to cry, she wants to die, but he can't get  enough

She's sorry he was born and tells him so

He takes it in, he hangs his chin, he ducks another blow

He'll never have the chance to be brand new

He'll never walk, he'll never talk, he's addicted, too
