Introduction:

        G                         C9                 D4  
I tuck you in ever so gently
                                Em                 C                            D  
Still you cried and turned from me
                                                  Em7  
You stepped on my heart
                                                                  Am  
I forgave you just like mothers do
                                                  C                                    D         Em7  
From under your shoes I still carried you
                        C                                              Cm  
Soon my body will burn into ashes and dust
             G                                                              Em7  
And rain will turn all that glitter to rust
                          Am  
One last pill for the pain
D                                                    G    B7  
Sit down, let me explain
                        Em         Bm  
Why my bruises stay
             C                                                      G            D  
My child I know you never meant to
                     Em7                 Bm  
These scars just won't fade away
                        C                    G                      D  
And I'm sure you never knew
                  G                         D  
I give up, I give in
                     Em                                                         C  
Help December let a new year begin
                                  G                              D  
Take what's left and move on
             Cm7    B7  
Fly away
          Em  
Be gone
