Antidote

Intro: B  G#m  E  F#m
Oh-oh-oh-ohhh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohhh, eh-eh-eh, yeah yeah yeah yeah ye-ah

Verse 1:
B
She set out to make a change
     G#m                             E            F#m
And leave her broken, shattered past behind, past behind
B
Get back to the fairy tales
    G#m                               E             F#m
She dreamed about when she was just a child, just a child


Pre-Chorus 1:
   G#m
She used to be an optimist
   F#m
But now she sees the obvious
        E                         Em
She’s running out of places to call home
   G#m
At nighttime she cries out and lets
    F#m
The skylights be her audience
      E
Cause no one else will listen to
      Em
Her sad and lonely song


Chorus:
                     B
She’s looking for an antidote
                    E
She’s looking for a man that won’t
              G#m
Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul
F#m
Leave her in the freezing cold
   B                             E
A remedy, that will take the pain away
                 G#m
So she can go and start her life over again
F#m                  Em   B            E
Let the broken pieces me--nd  Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh


Verse 2:
    B
At age 19 she’s tried it all
    G#m                              E              F#m
But can’t remove the poison from her veins, from her veins
    B
She blames herself and tries to numb
    G#m                               E              F#m
The shame and guilt by self-inflicting pain, over and again


Pre-Chorus 2:
G#m
Something deep inside her heart
F#m
Kindles and ignites a spark
   E                                  Em
And burns like candles lighting up her dark
    G#m
She feels the air and breathes it in
    F#m
And dares herself to dream again
     E                                 Em
Lets go of all to search for something worth believing in

Chorus:
                     B
She’s looking for an antidote
                    E
She’s looking for a man that won’t
              G#m
Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul
F#m
Leave her in the freezing cold
   B                             E
A remedy, that will take the pain away
                 G#m
So she can go and start her life over again
F#m                   Em   B
Let the broken pieces me--nd

Bridge:
B          E
Now is not forever
          G#m             F#m                   B
All that's seen will fade away, these wars will end
            E           G#m              F#m
There is an antidote to heal your broken pain
           B             E               G#m            F#m
There is a lifeline that hides inside the maker of your frame
            B     E                 G#m
He gave his life, hold your head up high
             F#m              B
You will get by, You will get by
E                 G#m               F#m
Hold your head up high, You will get by
