Chords

[Verse 1]
         Am
You can see it on her face

         F
Her red eyes say she's not safe

                 G
How should she know what it means

       Em
She is only just a teen

           Am
Under her duvet's where she hides

                F
To block the screaming late at night

             G
She can't remember life before

          Em
Mama and Daddy went to war
[Chorus]
C
All little girls are full of confusion

Em
Cry all you want cause you're only human

 Am
Was all the love just an illusion?

 G
Daddy's not coming home

 C
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

  Em
Promise that won't be you when you're 50

  Am                            G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings

                F     G
Cause all your heroes

              C
Are skin and bones
[Verse 2]
                  Am
Packed the small bag of things she loves

        F
Deep inside she blames herself

         G
She has nowhere else to go

                 Em
But that sounds better than what she knows

             Am
And as she steps into the dark

       F
Dirty hair and heavy heart

           G
Cold, cold air inside her lungs

          Em
Catch a snowflake on her tongue
[Chorus]
C
All little girls are full of confusion

Em
Cry all you want cause you're only human

 Am
Was all the love just an illusion?

 G
Daddy's not coming home

 C
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

  Em
Promise that won't be you when you're 50

  Am                             G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings

                F     G
Cause all your heroes

              C
Are skin and bones
[Bridge]
    Dm
And as I heard you shut the door

        F
Went through the window and I saw

     C                                 G
The footsteps of my big sister in the snow

        Dm
Since then not a single day has passed

      F
Where I don't say your name and ask

  C                  G
Where, where did you go?
[Intrumental] Am G C G Am Em [Outro]
C
All little girls are full of confusion

Em
Cry all you want cause you're only human

 Am
Was all the love just an illusion?

 G
Daddy's not coming home

 C
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

  Em
Promise that won't be you when you're 50

  Am                             G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings

                F     G
Cause all your heroes

              C
Are skin and bones
