Verse
C#
Your paper wings got ruined in the rain
F#7
Coat hanger halo got rusted
C#
The lace fell off the dress you made
F#7
Your the saddest little angel
Mascara left a sour taste
[Chorus]
A#m Fm
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
A#m Fm
I'm too weak to pick you up
D#m F#7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
D#m F#7
'Cause it's all that I can do
F
I didn't have the heart to tell you
G#
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
[Verse II]
C#
Like wild horses running, scared
F#7
From a storm that's too much to bare
C#
It's sad, the things you used to fear
F#7
Don't seem so bad, they're not so bad
Don't let them scare you.
[Verse III]
A#m Fm
And I pushed your bed to the window today.
A#m Fm D#m
You're still not well enough turned your visitors away.
F#7
I fight these tears by your bedside
D#m F#7
How dare I let you see me cry
F
I didn't have the heart to tell you
G#
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
[Verse IV]
C#
Your wings weren't meant for this
This weather that no one guessed
Fm
No calm before the storm
F
And it's gone before the panic sets
C#
So let's take our time with this,
Bleach the mud from off your dress,
Fm F
You make such an innocent mess in all of this.
[Chorus]
A#m Fm
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
A#m Fm
I'm too weak to pick you up
D#m F#7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
D#m F#7
'Cause it's all that I can do
F
I didn't have the heart to tell you
G#
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
