[E] [Bm]

[Bm]
[D] [A]
[Bm]
Just [D] before it [A] rains, the wind rips from the [Bm] balcony.
The [D] sky comes, [A]
the English [Bm] roses,
[D]
she'll be pacing [A] here tonight.
Round and round and round and [Bm] round her room.
[D] The storms [A] always find her, so they
[Bm] remind her.
[A]
[Bm]
To the endless [A] sky, the pink [Bm] overgrass.
She looks for an answer, [A]
but it's too [Bm] late.
[D]
Maybe it's [A] true, some things were just never [Bm] meant to be.
[D] [A] Maybe not.
[Bm]
[D] This is a story, [A] who cuts them goodbyes.
[D]
Forgotten, left to [A] rot.
Lonely for the first time.
[D]
This is a story, [A] about the girl who lived next door.
[D] Looking for someone to love.
[Bm] [A]
[F#m]
[Bm] [D] [A]
[Bm]
I wish you made a [A]
star out of this glass.
[Bm] [D] In a courtyard [A] she waits, a thousand broken [Bm]
days.
[D] But she holds the [A] hymn now.
This song of her, [Bm] so he replays.
She's [D] near [A] and but she waits.
She lets me rest.
[D] [A]
This only a story,
[Bm] flowers and [A] flowers.
Brutalized in every room.
[D] This is a story,
[A] of the fruit that never dies.
[D] Looking for someone to love.
