1. She used to be someone you could depend on,

           C                       G                     D

    to brighten up your coldest winter day,

                  A                                            D                                 G

    but the one she leaned upon, let her down, now has moved on,

              D                              A                   D

    and morning brings her another empty day.

 

                   G          A                D

Now she’s only a broken down angel,

           G        A                              D

she’s only a bird that’s broke her wing.

           Bm         F#             G                            A

She’s only someone, someone who’s gone wrong,

          G           A                           D  

she’s only a child that’s lost her way.

             C                                         D

2. She used to be a girl of simple pleasures,

          C                            G                          D

    a breath of spring to chase your blues away,

            A                                           D                         G

    but now she bears a cross, for a love that she has lost,

           D                     A                             D

    no sunshine in her life, just clouds of grey.
