Verse
A
Your paper wings got ruined in the rain
D7
Coat hanger halo got rusted
A
The lace fell off the dress you made
D7
Your the saddest little angel
Mascara left a sour taste
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
F#m C#m
I'm too weak to pick you up
Bm D7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
Bm D7
'Cause it's all that I can do
C#
I didn't have the heart to tell you
E
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
[Verse II]
A
Like wild horses running, scared
D7
From a storm that's too much to bare
A
It's sad, the things you used to fear
D7
Don't seem so bad, they're not so bad
Don't let them scare you.
[Verse III]
F#m C#m
And I pushed your bed to the window today.
F#m C#m Bm
You're still not well enough turned your visitors away.
D7
I fight these tears by your bedside
Bm D7
How dare I let you see me cry
C#
I didn't have the heart to tell you
E
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
C#m
No calm before the storm
C#
And it's gone before the panic sets
A
So let's take our time with this,
Bleach the mud from off your dress,
C#m C#
You make such an innocent mess in all of this.
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
F#m C#m
I'm too weak to pick you up
Bm D7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
Bm D7
'Cause it's all that I can do
C#
I didn't have the heart to tell you
E
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
