[Cm]
[G] [C] [Cm] She was a middle class girl, she wasn't over her head.
[Fm] She thought she could stand [Cm] up in the deep end.
He had a bulletproof smile, he had money to [G] burn.
[Fm] She thought she had the moon in [Cm] her pocket, [C] but now she's dead.
She's so dead, [Ab]
[C] forever dead, [Ab] and lonely [Cm] now.
[Fm] [Db] I've always been [Fm] told to remember [Db] this,
[Cm] Don't let [Ab] a fool kiss [Am] you, [D] never marry [G] for love.
He was hard to impress, [C] he knew [Cm] everyone's secrets.
[G] [Fm] He wore her [Gm] on his arm just like jewelry.
[Cm] He never gave her to God, he kept her on a leash.
[Fm] He's not the kind of [Cm] wheel you fall asleep at.
But now she's dead, [Ab] [Cm] forever dead, [Ab]
forever [Cm] dead, and [G] [Cm] lonely now.
[F] Come [Db] closer, look [Fm] deeper, you're [Db] falling fast.
[Cm] Just [Ab] like a chain [D] on a [G] stormy sea.
She made up someone to be, [D] she made up somewhere to [G] be from.
[Fm] This is one business in the world where there's no [Cm] problem at all.
Everything that is left, they will only plow under.
[Fm] Soon everyone you [C] knew will be gone.
[G] [Cm] And now she's dead, [Ab] [G] forever [Ab] dead, [Cm] forever dead, [Ab] and [G] lonely [Cm] now.
[F] [G]
[Cm]
[Fm] [Cm]
But now she's dead, [Ab]
forever [Cm] dead, forever dead, and [G] lonely [Cm] now.
[Fm] [Db] I've always been [F] told to remember [Db] this,
[Ab] Kiss [D] for you, never [G] marry for love.
Everything has its price, [Cm] everything has its place.
[Fm] [F] What's more romantic than dying in the [Cm] moonlight?
Now they're all watching to see, what's lost can never be broken.
[Fm] And now she's dead, forever dead, forever dead, and lonely now.
Her lips were sweet, [Cm] but they were so shallow.
And now she's dead, [Ab] forever dead, [Cm] dead, [G] [Cm] lonely.
[Ab] [Cm] [Ab]
[Cm] And lonely now.
[G] [Cm]
