Am You can see it on her face Her red eyes say she's not safe G How should she know what it means Em She is only just a teen Am Under her duvet's where she hides To block the screaming late at night G/B She can't remember life before Em Mama and Daddy went to war Chorus: C All little girls are full of confusion Em Cry all you want cause you're only human Am Was all the love just an illusion? G Daddy's not coming home C Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey Em Promise that won't be you when you're 50 Am G Cry before the guilty clap your wings F G Cause all your heroes C Are skin and bones Packed the small bag of things she loves Deep inside she blames herself She has nowhere else to go But that sounds better than what she knows And as she steps into the dark Dirty hair and heavy heart Cold, cold air inside her lungs Catch a snowflake on her tongue Chorus Dm And as I heard you shut the door F Went through the window and I saw C G The footsteps of my big sister in the snow Dm Since then not a single day has passed F Where I don't say your name and ask C G Where, where did you go?
