      Em           B         Cdim          Em
She stares at the moon, her ribbons out of tune.
     Em              B            Cdim          Em
The memories of the past, at the bottom of her glass.
     Em              B        Cdim            Em
And resting on her cheek, the imprint of his ring.
   Em            B        Cdim             Em
A symbol of the weak, commissioned by the king.

Am              C
Did he tie you down?
Am              C
Did you make a sound?

Chorus:
G    B            Em          C         G
She falls to her knees, screaming God please,
      B           Em  C
make something of me.
            G
Cause I've never wanted anything
      G7              C
like what I wanna be right now.
   A/C#            C                Em
An angel again, an angel again somehow.

She remembers his old boots
And the shotgun that he shoots
And all she could take
Lies at the bottom of a lake

So lift your cig and drag
As you figure out a plan
To hide it all away
How could she ever love this man

Did you weigh him down
Did he make a sound

Chorus

              C                    Am
And when you carry weight in your life,
              C                     Am
and all the plans you make in your life,
       C
the original decision was right.

Chorus

Did he tie you down
Did you make a sound
Did he weigh you down
Did he make a sound

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, somehow
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, somehow
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, somehow
