Verse 1:
A
She set out to make a change
F#m D Em
And leave her broken, shattered past behind, past behind
A
Get back to the fairy tales
F#m D Em
She dreamed about when she was just a child, just a child
Pre-Chorus 1:
F#m
She used to be an optimist
Em
But now she sees the obvious
D Dm
She’s running out of places to call home
F#m
At nighttime she cries out and lets
Em
The skylights be her audience
D
Cause no one else will listen to
Dm
Her sad and lonely song
Chorus:
A
She’s looking for an antidote
D
She’s looking for a man that won’t
F#m
Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul
Em
Leave her in the freezing cold
A D
G remedy, that will take the pain away
F#m
So she can go and start her life over again
Em Dm A D
Let the broken pieces me--nd Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Verse 2:
A
At age 19 she’s tried it all
F#m D Em
But can’t remove the poison from her veins, from her veins
A
She blames herself and tries to numb
F#m D Em
The shame and guilt by self-inflicting pain, over and again
Pre-Chorus 2:
F#m
Something deep inside her heart
Em
Kindles and ignites a spark
D Dm
And burns like candles lighting up her dark
F#m
She feels the air and breathes it in
Em
And dares herself to dream again
D Dm
Lets go of all to search for something worth believing in
Chorus:
A
She’s looking for an antidote
D
She’s looking for a man that won’t
F#m
Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul
Em
Leave her in the freezing cold
A D
G remedy, that will take the pain away
F#m
So she can go and start her life over again
Em Dm A
Let the broken pieces me--nd

Now is not forever

All that's seen will fade away, these wars will end

He gave his life, hold your head up high

Hold your head up high, You will get by
