                                           She used
[Verse 1]
    D              D               E       E
She used to be someone you could depend on

   D                A              E   E
To brighten up your coldest winter day

        B              B
But the one she leaned upon

        E                    A
Let her down – now has moved on

    E                   B            E   E
And morning brings her another empty day
[Chorus]
          A      B           E     E
Now she's only a broken down angel

      A      B                     E    E
She's only a bird that's broke her wing

      C#m      G#       A              B
She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong
A B [E – instrumental] She's only a child that's lost her way Instrumental (repeat intro): E A E B E [Verse 2]
    D            D                  E     E
She used to be a girl of simple pleasures

  D                   A                 E   E
A breath of spring to chase your blues away

    B               B
But now she bears a cross

      E                 A
For a love that she has lost

   E               B                     E    E
No sunshine in her life – just clouds of gray
Repeat chorus:
          A      B           E     E
Now she's only a broken down angel

      A      B                     E    E
She's only a bird that's broke her wing

      C#m      G#       A              B
She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong

      A      B                     E   E
She's only a child that's lost her way
