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