The Great Escape

[Verse]
  G           C       D     G
I tuck you in ever so gen-  tly
          Em        C           D
Still you cried and turned from me
                  Em
You stepped on my heart
                        Am
I forgave you just like mothers do
                C             D         Em
From under your shoes I still carried you
        C                   Cm                 G
Soon my body will burn into ashes and dust and rain
                   Em
Will turn all that glitter to rust
         Am           Am
One last pill for the pain
D                  G     D
Sit down, let me explain
N.C.   Em    N.C. Bm
Why my brui- ses  stay
   C                      G     D
My child I know you never meant to
      Em         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
