              G   C G C                G  C G C
And she lays down     on her bedroom floor
     Am7
The chemicals that make her laugh
 D                           G   C G C
Don't seem to be working anymore

She tries her best, but it hurts her chest
And even though her sun is gone
She'd like to love her child nevertheless

My hair is brown, she's scared to touch
And she just wants to feel something
And I don't think that's asking for too much

Am7               D7  G           Bm            Em
And when I go to sleep it's when she begins to weep

Chorus:
      Emmaj7          Em7          Em6
She's appalled by not loving me at all
Am                              D
She wears a frown and dressing gown
               G  C G
When she lays down

We got a plane, oh to see my dad again
She prayed that we'd fall from the sky
Simply to alleviate the pain

Over water, hmm
Over terrain
The engines all go bust, we turned to dust
And I've no reason to complain, yeah

And in the end, she chose cocaine
But it couldn't fix her brain

Chorus:
She's appalled
Oh, she doesn't love me at all
She wears a frown and dressing gown
When she lays down

That was it
