Intro: Am  Dm  F  F 


[Verso 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

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 



[Verso 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
