Verse
G
Your paper wings got ruined in the rain
C7
Coat hanger halo got rusted
G
The lace fell off the dress you made
C7
Your the saddest little angel
Mascara left a sour taste
[Chorus]
Em Bm
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
Em Bm
I'm too weak to pick you up
Am C7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
Am C7
'Cause it's all that I can do
B
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
C7
From a storm that's too much to bare
G
It's sad, the things you used to fear
C7
Don't seem so bad, they're not so bad
Don't let them scare you.
[Verse III]
Em Bm
And I pushed your bed to the window today.
Em Bm Am
You're still not well enough turned your visitors away.
C7
I fight these tears by your bedside
Am C7
How dare I let you see me cry
B
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
Bm
No calm before the storm
B
And it's gone before the panic sets
G
So let's take our time with this,
Bleach the mud from off your dress,
Bm B
You make such an innocent mess in all of this.
[Chorus]
Em Bm
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
Em Bm
I'm too weak to pick you up
Am C7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
Am C7
'Cause it's all that I can do
B
I didn't have the heart to tell you
D
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
