       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
