Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 2nd
Intro:
A  Asus4 then riff (slide finger from 3rd fret B string to the 5th fret then pluck
high E string open and hammer on the 3rd fret high E string..play 5th fret B sting
again and hammer on again)

A                 Asus4
She is on her own now
E7             A
This just got real
Bm            F#m              Bm                 E7           A
Her mum is no longer there to make her favourite meal all the dishes and the worries,
                        D
they will pile and stack
A                                      E           A  Asus4  E  A
She loved the world but it did not love her back

A                                      E7                A
She often wouldn't feel well and her friends said go to bed
  Bm              F#m                      Bm           E7
They would never understand this was a sickness of the head
                     A                                                          D
So she would sit and think for hours and her sadness she'd defer
A                                      E          A  Asus4  E  A
She loved the world but it was so cruel to her

D    A     E
Can't turn back
D    A      E     E
Head intact


     F#m        D         A
She knows what she can't have (she'll only want it more)
      F#m     D        A
The journey makes her sad (she'll only start a war)
F#m          D   Bm        A       G
She won't understand she's just a girl
E                                   (A Asus4 E7 A x2)
Expecting too much from the world

A (single strum)                   E7                    A
She lost sight of important things and bad things she would crave
             Bm              F#m                  Bm             E7
But there is not an ounce of good in things that send you to the grave
                      A                                                             D
So she would put a pen to paper but no thoughts came out the pen
A                            E            A    Asus4 E7  A
She loved the world but it stood her up again


D     A      E
Can't turn back
D     A     E
Head intact


     F#m       D          A
She knows what she can't have (she'll only want it more)
       F#m         D          A
The journey makes her sad (she'll only start a war)

 F#m           D       Bm             A        G
She won't understand she's just a girl
