Am

You can see it on her face

F

Her red eyes say she's not safe

G

How should she know what it means

Em

She is only just a teen

Am

Under her duvet's where she hides

F

To block the screaming late at night

G

She can't remember life before

Em

Mama and Daddy went to war

Chorus

C

All little girls are full of confusion

Em

Cry all you want cause you're only human

Am

Was all the love just an illusion?

G

Daddy's not coming home

C

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Em

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Am G

Cry before the guilty clap your wings

F G

Cause all your heroes

C

Are skin and bones

Verse 2

Am

Packed the small bag of things she loves

F

Deep inside she blames herself

G

She has nowhere else to go

Em

But that sounds better than what she knows

Am

And as she steps into the dark

F

Dirty hair and heavy heart

G

Cold, cold air inside her lungs

Em

Catch a snowflake on her tongue

Chorus

C

All little girls are full of confusion

Em

Cry all you want cause you're only human

Am

Was all the love just an illusion?

G

Daddy's not coming home

C

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Em

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Am G

Cry before the guilty clap your wings

F G

Cause all your heroes

C

Are skin and bones

Bridge

Dm

And as I heard you shut the door

F

Went through the window and I saw

C G

The footsteps of my big sister in the snow

Dm

Since then not a single day has passed

F

Where I don't say your name and ask

C G

Where, where did you go?
