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