[Verse 1]
  CShe's got her head on the Bpillow
  AmShe's got her hands in my Fhair
  EmShe's got her eyes halfway D#open
  DmI've got my Flips everywhereG  
  CAnd I can feel the love she's Bfeeling
  AmAs she whispers in my Fear
  EmBut it's an other voice I D#hear
[Pre-Chorus]
And Dmit would kill her if she knew
When she Ftalks to me I'm Ghearing you
[Chorus]
Oh CMadeline
EmAlways in the back on my Fmind
I'm trying so hard to move Dmon
But you're a wall that I can't Gclimb
[Verse 2]
  CI'm gonna put a diamond on her Bfinger
  AmI'm gonna say the words 'I Fdo'
  EmI'm gonna watch her walk D#down the aisle
  DmAnd I'm gonna Fmake believe it's youG  
  CAnd then we're gonna kiss with our Barms around each other
  AmLike a rope that won't Funtwist

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna Dmcrawl out of my skin
When I Fthink about what Gcould have been
[Chorus]

EmAlways in the back of my mFind
I'm trying so hard to move Dmon
But not seeing you is like going Gblind
[Bridge]
And I Amthought the time
Would G#mheal the wounds and lessen the Gpain
But F#mI will spend the rest of my Dmdays
Silently Fscreaming the Gname
