C                 Csus4
She is on her own now
G7             C
This just got real
Dm            Am              Dm                 G7           C
Her mum is no longer there to make her favourite meal all the dishes and the worries,
                        F
they will pile and stack
C                                      A#           C  Csus4  A#  C
She loved the world but it did not love her back

C                                      G7                C
She often wouldn't feel well and her friends said go to bed
  Dm              Am                      Dm           G7
They would never understand this was a sickness of the head
                     C                                                          F
So she would sit and think for hours and her sadness she'd defer
C                                      A#          C  Csus4  A#  C
She loved the world but it was so cruel to her

F    C     A#
Can't turn back
F    C      A#     A#
Head intact


     Am        F         C
She knows what she can't have (she'll only want it more)
      Am     F        C
The journey makes her sad (she'll only start a war)
Am          F   Dm        C       A#
She won't understand she's just a girl
A#                                   (C Csus4 G7 C x2)
Expecting too much from the world

C (single strum)                   G7                    C
She lost sight of important things and bad things she would crave
             Dm              Am                  Dm             G7
But there is not an ounce of good in things that send you to the grave
                      C                                                             F
So she would put a pen to paper but no thoughts came out the pen
C                            A#            C    Csus4 G7  C
She loved the world but it stood her up again

The journey makes her sad (she'll only start a war)
