The Great Escape And The Earth Wept

[Intro] Em7  C9  D4  D

   G          C9       D4
I tuck you in ever so gently
            Em       C           D
Still you cried and turned from me
                   Em7
You stepped on my heart
                         Am
I forgave you just like mothers do
                   C              D    Em7
From under your shoes I still carried you

         C                  Cm
Soon my body will burn into ashes and dust
     G                        Em7
And rain will turn all that glitter to rust
          Am
One last pill for the pain
D                    G  B7
Sit down, let me explain

         Em    Bm
Why my bruises stay
     C                     G     D
My child I know you never meant to
        Em7       Bm
These scars just won't fade away
         C        G         D
And I'm sure you never knew

       G          D
I give up, I give in
        Em                      C
Help December let a new year begin
             G            D
Take what's left and move on
     Cm7  B7
Fly away
    Em
Be gone
