Verse 1:
E
She set out to make a change
C#m A Bm
And leave her broken, shattered past behind, past behind
E
Get back to the fairy tales
C#m A Bm
She dreamed about when she was just a child, just a child
Pre-Chorus 1:
C#m
She used to be an optimist
Bm
But now she sees the obvious
A Am
She’s running out of places to call home
C#m
At nighttime she cries out and lets

The skylights be her audience
A
Cause no one else will listen to
Am
Her sad and lonely song
Chorus:
E
She’s looking for an antidote
A
She’s looking for a man that won’t
C#m
Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul

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

He gave his life, hold your head up high
