Intro E - C#m - A - B- E* Verse
         E
On the porch she will sit

       C#m
Light another cigarette

            A         B                    E*
And take a sip of anything that makes it right

          E                            C#m
She's outside, trying to hide from the fight just inside,

           A           B                  E*
Where her mom and her dad destroy each other

             E
And on the phone she will call

       C#m
Every boy, yeah, one and all

            A           B               E*
They will touch her in all the right places

             E
And in her room, she will slide

         C#m
Down the bed and try to fly,

              A          B               E*
And she will fall once again for the feeling

            A             C#m
And as he grabs her brown hair,

         E
She is faking

           A        C#m           E
That the feeling he gives her is real

        A         C#m
As the floor underneath the bed is

 E   B      A
Breaking in two

           A               B                  E
She will finish what she starts with "I love you"

              E
So from her head to her toes,

         C#m
Nervous hands and runny nose,

        A             B               E*
All of this just for one night of feeling

             E
And in her ears she will hear

         C#m
All the things that hide her fears

           A                B              E*
Of dying young and making plans for the future

              E 
And all the marks on her arms

      C#m
Symbolize a fractured heart

             A               B
And all the boys that were smart

            E*
Left her alone

              E
So from the roof, she will fly

   C#m
15 feet down the side

         A              B          E*
Of the house where she once was happy

        A           C#m
Yes is true, she's aware

               E
That she is breaking

         A            C#m       E
And its true, she cant do anything

             A        C#m
Well in her blue underwear

        E   B   A
She is thinking how

     A               B
In jesus' precious name

         E
She got here

           A          C#m
Well it's sad but its true

          E
She is ending

         A            C#m             E
But for now, she will pray for some wings

       A       C#m          E  B    A
On a black Cadillac she is landing hard

           A               B           E
Yet her parents' biggest worry is the car
