Verse
E
Your paper wings got ruined in the rain
A7
Coat hanger halo got rusted
E
The lace fell off the dress you made
A7
Your the saddest little angel
Mascara left a sour taste
[Chorus]
C#m G#m
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
C#m G#m
I'm too weak to pick you up
F#m A7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
F#m A7
'Cause it's all that I can do
G#
I didn't have the heart to tell you
B
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
[Verse II]
E
Like wild horses running, scared
A7
From a storm that's too much to bare
E
It's sad, the things you used to fear
A7
Don't seem so bad, they're not so bad
Don't let them scare you.
[Verse III]
C#m G#m
And I pushed your bed to the window today.
C#m G#m F#m
You're still not well enough turned your visitors away.
A7
I fight these tears by your bedside
F#m A7
How dare I let you see me cry
G#
I didn't have the heart to tell you
B
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
[Verse IV]
E
Your wings weren't meant for this
This weather that no one guessed
G#m
No calm before the storm
G#
And it's gone before the panic sets
E
So let's take our time with this,
Bleach the mud from off your dress,
G#m G#
You make such an innocent mess in all of this.
[Chorus]
C#m G#m
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
C#m G#m
I'm too weak to pick you up
F#m A7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
F#m A7
'Cause it's all that I can do
G#
I didn't have the heart to tell you
B
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
