Verse
F#
Your paper wings got ruined in the rain
B7
Coat hanger halo got rusted
F#
The lace fell off the dress you made
B7
Your the saddest little angel
Mascara left a sour taste
[Chorus]
D#m A#m
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
D#m A#m
I'm too weak to pick you up
G#m B7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
G#m B7
'Cause it's all that I can do
A#
I didn't have the heart to tell you
C#
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
[Verse II]
F#
Like wild horses running, scared
B7
From a storm that's too much to bare
F#
It's sad, the things you used to fear
B7
Don't seem so bad, they're not so bad
Don't let them scare you.
[Verse III]
D#m A#m
And I pushed your bed to the window today.
D#m A#m G#m
You're still not well enough turned your visitors away.
B7
I fight these tears by your bedside
G#m B7
How dare I let you see me cry
A#
I didn't have the heart to tell you
C#
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
[Verse IV]
F#
Your wings weren't meant for this
This weather that no one guessed
A#m
No calm before the storm
A#
And it's gone before the panic sets
F#
So let's take our time with this,
Bleach the mud from off your dress,
A#m A#
You make such an innocent mess in all of this.
[Chorus]
D#m A#m
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
D#m A#m
I'm too weak to pick you up
G#m B7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
G#m B7
'Cause it's all that I can do
A#
I didn't have the heart to tell you
C#
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
