[D] [G] [Gm] [D] [Em] [A] [D] [D]Help[Em]less, she [Bm]lies [A]across the [D]stairs [D]Haunting your [Em]days, [Bm]consuming [A]your [D]prayers [D]There will be [Em]healing, but don’t [Bm]force this [A]girl to [D]stand As she’s [D]counting the [Em]ceilings, with pale [Bm]voice and [A]trembling [D]hands

[Em]You told me life was [A]long, but [D]now that it’s [G]gone, You [D]find yourself on [Em]top, as the [F#m]leader of a [G]flock [A]Called to be a rock for those [D]below [G] [Gm] [D] [Em] [A] [D]

[D]Whispered [Em]notes from the [Bm]piano in the [A]corner of the [D]room [D]Hold your [Em]throat, is that [Bm]healing that you’re [A]hearing in her [D]tune? [D]Wanting [Em]change, but [Bm]loving her [A]just as she [D]lies Is the [D]burden of the [Em]man who’s [Bm]built his [A]life on [D]love

[Em]You told me life was [A]long, but [D]now that it’s [G]gone, You [D]find yourself on [Em]top, as the [F#m]leader of a [G]flock [A]Called to be a rock for those [D]below [G] [Gm] [D] [Em] [A] [D]

[Em]I’ll be locked up and [A]stored, [Em]in a lavender [A]ward [Em]’Cause my mind is just [A]like hers, just as [Em]broken, just as crippled, just as [A]burned And then I [D]find myself on [Em]top, as the [F#m]leader of a [G]flock [A]Called to be a rock for those [D]below [G] [Gm] [D] [Em] [A] [D]
