Am  Dm  F  F

[Verse 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


[Verse 2]
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



[Verse 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
