intro F#m G F#m G
F#m
Amber slipped away last night
G
Gin-soaked in the hospital
F#m
And with everything we went through with that last year
G
That is a serious kick in the balls
F#m
None of us need this
G
Least of all young Caroline
F#m G
Child, I'd be lying if I told you I thought that everything would be fine
[Chorus]
Bm A G
Caroline I know things are desperate
G F#m Bm
Things will get better in the end
D G D
Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
[Verse 2]
F#m
You know her parents built her up
G
But then they let her fall aside
F#m
Now she has her scars on her legs that she won't explain
G
From when she disappeared that night
F#m
Said she's not a little girl any more
G
Her hands, they don't need holding much
F#m G
But the child that I've known since the day she was born is always going to need some human touch
[Chorus]
Bm A G
Caroline I know things are desperate
G F#m Bm
Things will get better in the end
D G D
Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
Bm G D
Because every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
[Bridge]
A G
It tears me apart
A G
To remember your love
A G
It tears me apart
A G
To remember your love
[Chorus]

Things will get better in the end

every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again

every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again

every step you take forward is another step you'll never have to take again
