Intro: C G/B Am7 G

C G/B Am7

C G/B Am7 G

She walks to school with the lunch she packed

C G/B Am7 G

Nobody knows what she's holdin' back

C G/B Am7 G

Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday

C G/B Am7 G C G/B Am7 G

She hides the bruises with linen and lace, ooh

C G/B Am7 G

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask

C G/B Am7 G

It's hard to see the pain behind the mask

C G/B Am7 G

Bearing the burden of a secret storm

C G/B Am7 G

Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Chorus:

C G

Through the wind and the rain

Am G

She stands hard as a stone

C G Am

In a world that she can't rise above

G C G

But her dreams give her wings

Am G C

And she flies to a place where she's loved

D

Concrete angel

C G/B Am7 G

C G/B Am7

C G/B Am7 G

Somebody cries in the middle of the night

C G/B Am7 G

The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights

C G/B Am7 G

A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate

C G/B Am7 G

When morning comes it'll be too late

CHORUS

Solo: C G/B Am7 G

C G/B Am7

C G/B Am7 G

A statue stands in a shaded place

C G/B Am7 G

An angel girl with an upturned face

C G/B Am7 G

A name is written on a polished rock

C G/B Am7 G

A broken heart that the world forgot

CHORUS
