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