Verse
F
Your paper wings got ruined in the rain
A#7
Coat hanger halo got rusted
F
The lace fell off the dress you made
A#7
Your the saddest little angel
Mascara left a sour taste
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
Dm Am
I'm too weak to pick you up
Gm A#7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
Gm A#7
'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
A#7
From a storm that's too much to bare
F
It's sad, the things you used to fear
A#7
Don't seem so bad, they're not so bad
Don't let them scare you.
[Verse III]
Dm Am
And I pushed your bed to the window today.
Dm Am Gm
You're still not well enough turned your visitors away.
A#7
I fight these tears by your bedside
Gm A#7
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
Am
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,
Am A
You make such an innocent mess in all of this.
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
Dm Am
I'm too weak to pick you up
Gm A#7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
Gm A#7
'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
