Capo 3rd
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em G
Momma was a bit naive, and her daddy was a blinded thief
D Em
He went and stole away what was left of the remains of a family
Em
She'd hide away behind a door she kept locked
G D
But the walls weren't thick enough to block out
Em
Angry noises of the voices that once soothed her to sleep
[Chorus]
C
And she lies tonight
G G
Underneath the caving roof
D
And she cries tonight
Em D
Wondering what she can do
C
And she tries tonight
G
Remembering who she once knew
D
But they've died inside
Em G C
Another empty bottle takes a life
[Verse 2]
Em
This world can be so cruel
G
She lives her life as a broken tool
D Em
And she believes she's unable to fix this broken machine
Em
And what's the use to throw yourself at love
G
If in the end it never seems enough
D Em
To be able to get through all of life's broken dreams
C
She watched her father live in regret
G
Heard her mother cry in an empty bed
D C
And she swears this is the best life gets
[Chorus]
C
And she lies tonight
G G
Underneath the caving roof
D
And she cries tonight
Em D
Wondering what she could do
C
And she tries tonight
G
but she's out of memories that she once knew
D
And she dies inside
Em G C
Another empty bottle takes a life
[Bridge]
C G
And every little bit, every little bit of her wants to see the light
D Em
Oh, but every single night another little bit of her dies inside
D
She's trapped in her mind
C
She feels more alive, she feels more alive
G
In her own dreams
D
And she's wondering what's beyond the sky, could she see the light
C
If she falls asleep?
Em D C
Oh, cause she feels more alive in her own dreams
[Chorus]
C
So tonight she lies
G
Lifted up through her own roof
D
Dried eyes tonight
Em D
There's nothing more that she could do
C
And they cry tonight
G
A daughter that they hardly knew
D
And she's lost in time
Em D C
Another empty bottle takes a life
