         C
Did they give you a choice?
                G       D              C
Would they have let you stay where you were?

Not to live here in pain

Should not bring you shame

Look just as you thought?

I am just brilliantly bitter
    C            G
I'm sealed by my skin

But broken inside

G D C

G          D
Angels are fragile
    C
And devils are hot
    G         D      C
And life is a masque rade
G           D
Colors will blend
    C
And hearts will all mend

    C        G
And children running
             C          G        D
And they say "read me a book, oh sing me a song"
    C         G              C      G
And I was the one who I felt so, so sorry for

But you are the one who is gone
