Verse 1:
G
She set out to make a change
Em C Dm
And leave her broken, shattered past behind, past behind
G
Get back to the fairy tales
Em C Dm
She dreamed about when she was just a child, just a child
Pre-Chorus 1:
Em
She used to be an optimist
Dm
But now she sees the obvious
C Cm
She’s running out of places to call home
Em
At nighttime she cries out and lets
Dm
The skylights be her audience
C
Cause no one else will listen to
Cm
Her sad and lonely song
Chorus:
G
She’s looking for an antidote
C
She’s looking for a man that won’t

Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul
Dm
Leave her in the freezing cold

F remedy, that will take the pain away
Em
So she can go and start her life over again
Dm Cm G C
Let the broken pieces me--nd Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Verse 2:
G
At age 19 she’s tried it all
Em C Dm
But can’t remove the poison from her veins, from her veins
G
She blames herself and tries to numb
Em C Dm
The shame and guilt by self-inflicting pain, over and again
Pre-Chorus 2:
Em
Something deep inside her heart
Dm
Kindles and ignites a spark
C Cm
And burns like candles lighting up her dark
Em
She feels the air and breathes it in
Dm
And dares herself to dream again
C Cm
Lets go of all to search for something worth believing in
Chorus:
G
She’s looking for an antidote
C
She’s looking for a man that won’t
Em
Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul
Dm
Leave her in the freezing cold
G C
F remedy, that will take the pain away
Em
So she can go and start her life over again
Dm Cm G
Let the broken pieces me--nd
