Capo 1
[Intro:]
F#m
[Verse]
F#m A
Momma was a bit naive and her Daddy was a blinded thief
E F#m
He went and stole away what was left of the remains of a family
F#m
She'd hide away behind a door she kept locked
A E
But the walls weren't thick enough to block out
F#m
The angry noises of the voices that once soothed her to sleep
[Chorus]
D
And she lies tonight
A A
Underneath the caving roof
E
And she cries tonight
F#m E
Wondering what she can do
D
And she tries tonight
A
Remembering who she once knew
E
But they've died inside
F#m E D
Another empty bottle takes a life
[Verse]
F#m
This world can be so cruel
A
She lives her life as a broken tool
E F#m
And she believes she's unable to fix this broken machine
F#m
And what's the use to throw yourself at love
A
If in the end it never seems enough
E F#m
To be able to get through all of a life's broken dreams
D
She watched her father live in regret
A
She heard her mother cry in an empty bed
E D
And she swears this is the best life gets
[Chorus]
D
Oh, and she lies tonight
A A
Underneath the caving roof
E
And she cries tonight
F#m E
Wondering what she can do
D
And she tries tonight
A
Remembering who she once knew
E
But they've died inside
F#m E D
Another empty bottle takes a life
F#m D A E
[Verse]
D A
And every little bit, every little bit of her wants to see the light
E F#m
Oh, but every single night another little bit of her dies inside
E
She's trapped in her mind
D
She feels more alive, she feels more alive
A
In her own dreams
E
And she's wondering what's beyond the sky, could she see the light if
D
she falls asleep?
F#m E D
Oh, 'cause she feels more alive in her own dreams
[Chorus]
D
So tonight she lies
A
Lifted up through her own roof
E
Dried eyes tonight
F#m E
There's nothing more that she could do
D
And they cry tonight
A
The daughter that they hardly knew
E
And she's lost in time
F#m E D
Another empty bottle takes a life
