Am Dm F F
[Verse 1]
Am Dm
Baby can't you cry?
F G
Or is she ain't letting you?
Am Dm
That eyelash in your eye
F G
Ain't what's upsetting you
F G
Though she's dead and out of sight
F G
She still throws your shoes across your room at night
Am C/G G
And she still says you're cheap and in your sleep,
F/A
Sets your sheets alight
D
So baby don't you cry
F
She ain't worth it and besides
C G/B
You're too old for lullabies
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
So baby don't you sink,
F G
Back down that corridor
Am Dm
Take a breath and think,
F G
What you've been running for
F G
'Cos she can't help you now
F G
All she can do is sulk around your house
Am C/G G
And show up in your eyes when you're surprised
F
That you're happy now
D
So be glad and proud
F C G/B
'Cos baby you're allowed
[Middle 8]
G/B F G/B C
And her shadow disappears when you shine a light down the years
G/B F G
And torch that hallway of souvenirs
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
So lately you and I
F G
have spoken of marrying
Am Dm
And so it's time to say goodbye
F G
To that bag of broken things you're carrying
F G
'Cos this time you can't hide
F G
All you can do is trust her loving side
Am C/G G
And walk on down the aisle with a smile
F
And her voice inside,
D
So still and quiet
F F/C C
Saying baby you survived
