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