Intro: D5 Verse: D She hit the town with a suitcase and a second hand prayer D Barely eighteen chasing neon through the Tennessee air Bm They said she had a voice like Sunday C G And a fire like July Em She gave us Heaven in rhinestones A And we just watched her rise
Pre-Chorus: D But the stage got quiet when the lights went down And the headlines whispered Bm Every time she came unwound We watched the smile start slipping G The sparkle turned to strange She was singing out for mercy A But we just love the pain Chorus: G The headlines watched her tumble But never saw her stand D They quoted every whisper But never held her hand Em Em7 Now the silence echoes louder than a vow G And maybe A Just maybe D D D D They'll notice her now Verse: D She begged for ten thousand Angels But none of them came through Bm Just camera's at her doorstep And headlines calling it news G He raised his voice then raised his hand And still we turned away Em7 She wrote her truth in melodies A The world forgot to play Pre-Chorus: G How many girls like Mindy Will we bury with a shrug D How long before we learn the cost Of chasing pain for love Em7 We called it entertainment But it was a slow goodbye G She lived her life worth singing A But we let her story die Chorus: G The headlines never loved you They just watched you fall D Turned your cries into questions Then ignored the call Em7 Now they print your picture with a sad somehow G Too little too late A But maybe Bm A/C# A D They'll notice her now
