[Verse I]
C
Your paper wings got ruined in the rain
F7
Coat hanger halo got rusted
C
The lace fell off the dress you made
F7
Your the saddest little angel

Mascara left a sour taste


[Chorus]
Am              Em
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
Am              Em
I'm too weak to pick you up
                     Dm                 F7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
Dm              F7
'Cause it's all that I can do
E
I didn't have the heart to tell you
G
It's really bad

It's really bad this time


[Verse II]
C
Like wild horses running, scared
F7
From a storm that's too much to bare
C
It's sad, the things you used to fear
F7
Don't seem so bad, they're not so bad

Don't let them scare you.


[Verse III]
Am                    Em
And I pushed your bed to the window today.
Am               Em                               Dm
You're still not well enough turned your visitors away.
                            F7
I fight these tears by your bedside
Dm                 F7
How dare I let you see me cry
E
I didn't have the heart to tell you
G
It's really bad

It's really bad this time

[Verse IV]
C
Your wings weren't meant for this

This weather that no one guessed
Em
No calm before the storm
E
And it's gone before the panic sets
C
So let's take our time with this,

Bleach the mud from off your dress,
Em                        E
You make such an innocent mess in all of this.


[Chorus]
Am              Em
And I wish that I was there when you took that fall
Am              Em
I'm too weak to pick you up
                     Dm                 F7
But I would've laid down in this puddle beside you
Dm              F7
'Cause it's all that I can do
E
I didn't have the heart to tell you
G
It's really bad
