[Instrumental Intro] | Am | Am G | C | C | X2 [Verse 1]
Am                                  G    C
Got your eyes open, but you cannot see

Am                                      G    C
Got what you want, do you got what you need?

    Am                                    G    C
Til one day you see something you cannot bear

Am                                  G    C
Telling you girl, yes you better beware

Am                                    G    C
Her papa loved her so much you could see

Am                                     G    C
Loved her too much if you know what I mean

    Am
So, she left home young

                        G    C
Yeah she moved town to town

 Am                               G     C
Looking for love that she never found
[Interlude] | Am Bm | C Em | G Am | Bm C | | Am Bm | C Em | G Am | Bm C | [Verse 2]
Am                                         G    C
She played it hard and yes she played it rough

 Am                                       G    C
Made her feel safe and it made her feel tough

     Am                                      G    C
And rock by rock she built those walls everyday

 Am                            G    C
Built herself a tower so far away
[Bridge]
         Am  Bm           C      Em
And from up high in that castle

         G                Am            Bm    C
She knew no one could get too close to touch

        Am             Bm          C     Em
And if life and death were such a game

         G             Am     Bm     C
Why did they all make such a fuss?

        Am              Bm               C       Em
And if birds could fly high over their troubles

           G               Am            Bm    C
She gonna find some of her own wings and fly

       Am            Bm               C        Em
And no one could convince or pay her double

             G           Am      Bm     C
Or tell her she was too young to die
[Outro]
