Intro
C#m E A F#m
[Verse 1]
C#m E A F#m
Found you on the roadside
C#m E A F#m
Little cuts and bruises underneath your chin
C#m E A F#m
You begged them to bury you
C#m E A F#m
Before your life sets in
C#m E A F#m
She sees me in the garden
C#m E A F#m
Pulling petals off the flowers
C#m E A F#m
She closes all the windows
C#m E A F#m
Shuts down on the bed and shivers
[Chorus]
C#m E A F#m C#m E
Take her back in time to the place before it happened
A F#m
Before it happened
C#m E A F#m C#m E
Take me back in time to the place where it happened
A F#m
Where it happened
[Bridge]
C#m E A F#m
[Verse 2]
C#m E A F#m
He scratched your eyes, your pretty eyes
C#m E A F#m
With a handful of rusty nails
C#m E A F#m
And then he pushed you into a ditch
C#m E A F#m
With the slugs and the snails
C#m E A F#m
I'm so angry she's not angry
C#m E A F#m
Every second of every hour
C#m E A F#m
She shuts the door and slides the latch in
C#m E A F#m
Tries to wash him off in the shower
[Chorus]
C#m E A F#m C#m E
Take her back in time to the place before it happened
A F#m
Before it happened
C#m E A F#m C#m E
Take me back to the roadside where, where it happened
A F#m
Before it happened
C#m
Where it happened
E
Where it happened
A F#m
Where it happened
[Verse 3]
C#m E A F#m
He lay there for three days
C#m E A F#m
Your heart held in his knuckles
C#m E A F#m
He tried to pull out your hair
C#m E A F#m
Rip the scalp with his buckle
C#m E
Look at you now (Look at you now)
A F#m
You're like no girl I know
C#m
I would have stabbed him
E
(who would have stopped me?)
A
I would have stabbed him
F#m
(you would have stopped me)
C#m E A F#m
Dead, dead ,dead (xmultiple times)
