      C  G/B  Am7 
 
C             G/B             Am7       G 
She walks to school with the lunch she packed 
C       G/B              Am7     G 
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back 
C           G/B              Am7       G 
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday 
C             G/B           Am7       G      C  G/B  Am7  G 
She hides the bruises with linen and lace, ooh 
 
C           G/B            Am7       G 
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask 
C            G/B             Am7      G 
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask 
C           G/B         Am7     G 
Bearing the burden of a secret storm 
C             G/B             Am7   G 
Sometimes she wishes she was never born 

            C            G 
Through the wind and the rain 
           Am         G 
She stands hard as a stone 
     C              G           Am 
In a world that she can't rise above 
G        C              G 
But her dreams give her wings 
        Am         G                 C 
And she flies to a place where she's loved 
D 
Concrete angel

C  G/B  Am7 
 
C         G/B          Am7           G 
Somebody cries in the middle of the night 
C             G/B            Am7           G 
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights 
C          G/B                Am7      G 
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate 
C             G/B        Am7      G 
When morning comes it'll be too late

C         G/B         Am7     G 
A statue stands in a shaded place 
C        G/B          Am7       G 
An angel girl with an upturned face 
C          G/B          Am7      G 
A name is written on a polished rock 
C         G/B           Am7       G 
A broken heart that the world forgot 
 
 
CHORUS
