Verse
         EOn the porch she will sit
       C#mLight another cigarette
            A         B                    E*And take a sip of anything that makes it right
          E                            C#mShe’s outside, trying to hide from the fight just inside,
           A           B                  E*Where her mom and her dad destroy each other
             EAnd on the phone she will call
       C#mEvery boy, yeah, one and all
            A           B               E*They will touch her in all the right places
             EAnd in her room, she will slide
         C#mDown the bed and try to fly,
              A          B               E*And she will fall once again for the feeling
        

            A             C#mAnd as he grabs her brown hair,
         EShe is faking
           A        C#m           EThat the feeling he gives her is real
        A         C#mAs the floor underneath the bed is
 E   B      ABreaking in two
           A               B                  EShe will finish what she starts with “I love you”


              ESo from her head to her toes,
         C#mNervous hands and runny nose,
        A             B               E*All of this just for one night of feeling
             EAnd in her ears she will hear
         C#mAll 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#mSymbolize a fractured heart
             A               BAnd all the boys that were smart
            E*Left her alone
              ESo from the roof, she will fly
   C#m15 feet down the side
         A              B          E*Of the house where she once was happy
  
        A           C#mYes is true, she’s aware
               EThat she is breaking
         A            C#m       EAnd its true, she cant do anything
             A        C#mWell in her blue underwear
        E   B   AShe is thinking how
     A               BIn jesus’ precious name
         EShe got here
           A          C#mWell it’s sad but its true
          EShe is ending
         A            C#m             EBut for now, she will pray for some wings
       A       C#m          E  B    AOn a black Cadillac she is landing hard
           A               B           EYet her parents’ biggest worry is the car
