[Verse I]
CYour paper wings got ruined in the rain
F7Coat hanger halo got rusted
CThe lace fell off the dress you made
F7Your the saddest little angel
Mascara left a sour taste
[Chorus]
AmAnd I wish that EmI was there when you took that fall
AmI'm too weak to Empick you up
But I would've laid dDmown in this puddle F7beside you
Dm'Cause it's all F7that I can do
EI didn't have the heart to tell you
GIt's really bad
It's really bad this time
[Verse II]
CLike wild horses running, scared
F7From a storm that's too much to bare
CIt's sad, the things you used to fear
F7Don't seem so bad, they're not so bad
Don't let them scare you.
[Verse III]
AmAnd I pushed your bed Emto the window today.
AmYou're still not Emwell enough turned your visitors Dmaway.
I fight these tears by your F7bedside
DmHow dare I let you F7see me cry
EI didn't have the heart to tell you
GIt's really bad
It's really bad this time
[Verse IV]
CYour wings weren't meant for this
This weather that no one guessed
EmNo calm before the storm
EAnd it's gone before the panic sets
CSo let's take our time with this,
Bleach the mud from off your dress,
EmYou make such an innocent Emess in all of this.
[Chorus]
AmAnd I wish that EmI was there when you took that fall
AmI'm too weak to Empick you up
But I would've laid dDmown in this puddle F7beside you
Dm'Cause it's all F7that I can do
EI didn't have the heart to tell you
GIt's really bad
It's really bad this time

[Verse I]

Your paper wings got ruined in the rain

Coat hanger halo got rusted

The lace fell off the dress you made

Your the saddest little angel

Mascara left a sour taste

[Chorus]

Am Em

And I wish that I was there when you took that fall

Am Em

I'm too weak to pick you up

Dm F7

But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you

Dm F7

'Cause it's all that I can do

I didn't have the heart to tell you

It's really bad

It's really bad this time

[Verse II]

Like wild horses running, scared

From a storm that's too much to bare

It's sad, the things you used to fear

Don't seem so bad, they're not so bad

Don't let them scare you.

[Verse III]

Am Em

And I pushed your bed to the window today.

Am Em Dm

You're still not well enough turned your visitors away.

I fight these tears by your bedside

Dm F7

How dare I let you see me cry

I didn't have the heart to tell you

It's really bad

It's really bad this time

[Verse IV]

Your wings weren't meant for this

This weather that no one guessed

No calm before the storm

And it's gone before the panic sets

So let's take our time with this,

Bleach the mud from off your dress,

Em E

You make such an innocent mess in all of this.

[Chorus]

Am Em

And I wish that I was there when you took that fall

Am Em

I'm too weak to pick you up

Dm F7

But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you

Dm F7

'Cause it's all that I can do

I didn't have the heart to tell you

It's really bad

It's really bad this time
