[Dm] [Am] [Bb] [Gm]
[Verse]
[Dm]She's locked [Am]up with a [Bb]spinning [Gm]wheel
And she can't[Dm] re[Am]call what it was [Bb]like to [Gm]feel
She says, t[Dm]his r[Am]oom is gonna b[Bb]e my g[Gm]rave
And there is [Dm]no one [Am]who can [Bb]save [Dm]me
She sits [Am]down to her [Bb]colored [Gm]thread
She knows [Dm]lovers [Am]waking up [Bb]in their [Gm]beds
She says, [Dm]"How [Am]long can I [Bb]live this [Gm]way
Is there [Dm]no one [Am]I can [Bb]pay to let me [F]go
[Pre-Cborus]
'Cause I'm half [G]sick of shadows
[Dm]I want to [F7]see the [Am]sky
Every[C]one else can watch as the [Bb]sun goes down
So why can't [C]I
[Cborus]
[D]And it's [Em7]raining
And the [D]stars are fal[G]ling from the sky
And the [Bb]wind
And the wind I [C]know it's [D]cold
I've been [Em7]waiting
For the [D]day I will [G]surely die
And it's [Bb]here
And it's here for [Am]I've been [Gm]told
That I'll die be[Am]fore I'm [Bb]old
And the wind I [C]know it's [Dm]cold
[Instrumental]
[Dm] [Am] [Bb] [Gm]
[Dm] [Am] [Bb] [Gm]
[Dm] [Am] [Bb] [Gm]
[Dm] [Am] [Bb] [Gm]
[Verse]
[Dm]She looks [Am]up to the [Bb]mirrored [Gm]glass
She sees [Dm]a handsome [Am]horse and [Bb]rider [Gm]pass
She says, [Dm]that m[Am]an's gonna b[Bb]e my d[Gm]eath
'Cause he is [Dm]all I [Am]ever [Bb]wanted in my [Dm]life
And I [Am]know he doesn't [Bb]know my [Gm]name
And that [Dm]all the [Am]girls are [Bb]all the [Gm]same to him
[Dm]But still I've [Am]got to get out [Bb]of this [Gm]place
'Cause I [Dm]don't think [Am]I can [Bb]face another [F]night
[Pre-Cborus]
Where I'm half [G]sick of shadows
[Dm]And I can't [F7]see the [Am]sky
Every[C]one else can watch as the [Bb]tide comes in
So why can't [C]I
[Cborus]
[D]And it's [Em7]raining
And the [D]stars are fal[G]ling from the sky
And the [Bb]wind
And the wind I [C]know it's [D]cold
I've been [Em7]waiting for the [D]day I will [G]surely die
And it's [Bb]here
And it's here for [Am]I've been [Gm]told
That I'll die be[Am]fore I'm [Bb]old
And the wind I [C]know it's [F]cold
[Bridge]
But there's [C]willow trees
And [Dm]little breezes, [C7]waves, and [Bb]walls, and [F]flowers
And there's [C]moonlight every [Dm]single night
As [Am]I'm locked [Gm]in these [F]towers
So I'll [Bb]meet my death
But with [F7]my last breath I'll sing to him I [Dm]love
And he'll [Bb]see my face in [F]another place
And with that the glass [Dm]above
[Verse]
Cracked [Am]into a [Bb]million [Gm]bits
And she [Dm]cried [Am]out, so the [Bb]story [Gm]fits
But then [Dm]I could have [Am]guessed it [Bb]all a[Gm]long
'Cause now [Dm]some drama [Am]queen is gonna [Bb]write a song for [Dm]me
She went [Am]down to her [Bb]little [Gm]boat
And she [Dm]broke the [Am]chain and be[Bb]gan to [Gm]float away
[Dm]And as the [Am]blood froze [Bb]in her [Gm]veins she said
[Dm]Well then [Am]that ex[Bb]plains a thing or [F]two
[Pre-Cborus]
'Cause I know [G]I'm the cursed one
[Dm]I know I'm [F7]meant to [Am]die
Every[C]one else can watch as their [Bb]dreams untie
So why can't [C]I
[Cborus]
[D]And it's [Em7]raining and the [D]stars are fal[G]ling from the sky
And the [Bb]wind
And the wind I [C]know it's [D]cold
I've been [Em7]waiting for the [D]day I will [G]surely die
And it's [Bb]here
And it's here for [Am]I've been [Gm]told
That I'll die bef[Am]ore I'm [Bb]old
And the wind I [C]know it's [D]cold
And it's [Em7]raining and the [D]stars are fal[G]ling from the sky
And the [Bb]wind
And the wind I [C]know it's [D]cold
I've been [Em7]waiting for the [D]day I will [G]surely die
And it's [Bb]here
And it's here for [Am]I've been [Gm]told
That I'll die bef[Am]ore I'm [Bb]old
And the wind I [C]know it's [Dm]cold
