G
She never really had a chance
D/F#
On that fateful moonlit night
Em
Sacrificed without a fight
C9
A victim of her circumstance
G
Now that I've become aware
D
And I've exposed this tragedi
Em
A sadness grows inside of me
C9
It all seems so unfair
Em D
I'm learning all about my life
G
By looking through her eyes
G
Just beyond the churchyard gates
D/F#
Where the grass is overgrown
Em
I saw the writing on her stone
C9
I felt like I would suffocate
G
In loving memory of our child
D
So innocent, eyes open wide
Em
I felt so empty as I cried
C9
Like part of me had died
Em D
I'm learning all about my life
Am
By looking through her eyes
And as her image
C
Wandered through my head
G
I wept just like a baby
D
As I lay awake in bed
Am
And I know what it's like
C
To lose someone you love
Em D
And this felt just the same
G
She wasn't given any choice
D/F#
Desperation stole her voice
Em
I've been given so much more in life
C9
I've got a son, I've got a wife
G
I had to suffer one last time
D/F#
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Em
Relive the anguish of my past
C9
To find out who I was at last
Em D
The door has opened wide
C
I'm turning with the tide
Am G G/B Em C9
Looking through her eyes.
