Black Dahlia

Am
I don’t know
Am
Maybe I would write you a happy 
ending
Am
I would rearrange the pieces to your
 sad beginning
Am
I would put you far away from the 
decaying roots that bore you
Am
And let you experience all the ways 
that happiness could bloom before 
you
Am
Or maybe I’m naïve…
Am
Maybe I’m just a kid who thought 
that if she could plant a seed
Am
It would somehow grow inside you

[Verse]
Am
Spent so much of my time wishing you
 were different
Am
But reality is that with life can't 
never be provision
Am
But if I could wish for one thing, 
I’d go back and I’d fix it
Am
I’d tackle all your obstacles and 
kill 'em with precision
    F
And better the intentions of every 
single person
G
Who'd play a part in you learning 
exactly what your worth is
Am
I’d shower you with purpose, I’d 
wipe hate off the surface
Am
I’d reshape all your pain and make 
it fucking worth it
Am
No more feeling worthless, no more 
fucking searching
Am
No more of that fraud shit, nobody 
else could hurt you
Am
Yeah, said nobody else could hurt 
you
Am
And if they ever tried too I’d wipe 
'em from the Earth too
F
Cuz I know that you hurting baby, I 
know that you tired too
G
I know that you been running from 
everything that’s behind you
Am
I know you’ve been burying 
everything deep inside you
Am
I can see it killing you, wish that 
I could revive you
Am
But I’m stuck sitting in this time 
frame
Am
Struggling with my demons and 
playing these stupid mind game
Am
One day it could get better, maybe 
it could get better
Am
Maybe we could change shit, no more 
inclement weather
F
Know you hated your mom, know it 
went through your mind
G
You were just like me, wish that you
 had more time
Am
To see life from a different angle, 
wrestle with a different angel
Am
Wouldn’t lose your wings and fall 
from heaven like a cliffhanger

[Chorus]
Am
Everything is different now, nothing
 is the same
G
And nowadays I swear it feels like 
you don’t know my name

F
But I look at the mirror and I see 
you every day
Dm
I’m you in every way, every hue and 
every shade
C
And maybe you should know, it’s the 
last thing that I wanted
G
Cuz what I hate about you makes me 
feel like I’m haunted
Am
And I don’t wanna spend the rest of 
my time on the run and-
Am
So I’m just gonna confront it, yeah 
I’m just gonna confront it
Am
And tell you that I love you for 
everything you made me
G
And that you need to hear this even 
if it makes you angry
F
God lives inside you, you’ve already
 found him
Dm
The Devil lives in memories and you 
just let him hound you
C
And I despise your church for every 
fucking thing they taught you
G
It’s just a fucking stain that I 
wish I could wipe off you
Am
That I wish I could wipe off you
Am
And I forgive you for doing 
everything that it cost you

[Verse]
Am
Everything that it caused you
Am
Fame is such a heavy price I wish it
 didn’t cost you
Am
Losing a part of me that would 
follow you to Hell
Am
Follow you to hatred, or follow you 
to jail
F
Followed you to patterns that I 
could never get out of
G
Now I realize that I could never 
make it with that love
Am
Now I realize that shit is the 
alternative outcome
Am
Never wanted you to save me, I just 
wish I count some
Am
I just wish that you grew up with 
someone you could count on
Am
I wish you knew that you could never
 make it without love
Am
For your goddamn self, and that you 
never ever find it in anybody else
F
Cuz I would help you find you
G
And if I saw it killing you I swear 
I would revive you
Am
And if that meant the end of me
Am
I’d do it all for you so you could 
have your happy end in peace

[Bridge]
Am                      G
Because, you are such a special 
thing
                            F
You’re not just my mom, but you’re 
the reason I exist
        Dm                         
And the best life that you could’ve
                           C
 had for yourself without making a 
mistake
Would have meant I woulda had a 
                G
nicer childhood
And even though my childhood wasn’t 
        Am
perfect and I still love you
Am
I just want you to know that if I 
could go back and do one thing for 
you
Am
Or be one person for you
                    G
I would make sure, not just for my 
sake, but so that you could’ve had a
 nicer life
                 F
And a nicer childhood, that you know
                   Dm              
You would not have made the 
                              C
mistakes that put us all in this bad
 situation
And not have the strength to leave
 G

G
But just so that you would have been
 happier and stronger
Am
Even if I didn’t exist, even it 
meant that I was never born
Am
That’s what I would have wanted for 
you

[Otro]
Am
Yeah, and if that meant the end of 
me
G
I’d do it all for you so you could 
have your happy ending
F
Cuz I know that you hurting baby, I 
know that you tired too
Dm
I know you’ve been running from 
everything that’s behind you
C
I know that you’ve been burying 
everything deep inside you
G
I can see it killing you, wish that 
I could revive you
Am
And if that meant the end of me
Am
I’d do it all for you so you could 
have your happy ending
Am
And if that meant the end of me
G
I’d do it all for you so you could 
have your happy ending
F
And if that meant the end of me
Dm                                
I’d do it all for you so you could
                          C
 have your happy ending

G
I don’t know
Am
Maybe I would write you a happy 
ending
Am
I would rearrange the pieces to your
 sad beginning
Am                                
I would put you far away from the 
                   G
decaying roots that bore you
                        F          
And let you experience all the ways
 that happiness could bloom before 
      Dm
you
Or maybe I’m naïve…
C                              
Maybe I’m just a kid who thought 
                            G
that if she could plant a seed
                                  Am
It would somehow grow inside you
Am
And that I could hide you from the 
rain
Am
So that it could be easier for 
happiness to find you
Am                           
Or maybe I’m still a kid who’s 
  G
caught in a dream
                    F          
I’m the heir to the throne of a 
princess who’s still trying to be 
 Dm
queen
                         C
Or maybe we’re all just caught in 
the winds of a massacre
    G                              
The blackened leaves of dying, 
  Am
