Verse
DmAmBbGm
She's locked up with a spinning wheel
DmAmBbGm
And she can't recall what it was like to feel
DmAmBbGm
She says, this room is gonna be my grave
DmAmBbDm
And there is no one who can save me
AmBbGm
She sits down to her colored thread
DmAmBbGm
She knows lovers waking up in their beds
DmAmBbGm
She says, "How long can I live this way
DmAmBbF
Is there no one I can pay to let me go
Pre-Chorus
G
'Cause I'm half sick of shadows
DmF7Am
I want to see the sky
CBb
Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down
C
So why can't I
Chorus
DEm7
And it's raining
DG
And the stars are falling from the sky
Bb
And the wind
CD
And the wind I know it's cold
Em7
I've been waiting
DG
For the day I will surely die
Bb
And it's here
AmGm
And it's here for I've been told
AmBb
That I'll die before I'm old
CDm
And the wind I know it's cold

Verse
DmAmBbGm
She looks up to the mirrored glass
DmAmBbGm
She sees a handsome horse and rider pass
DmAmBbGm
She says, that man's gonna be my death
DmAmBbDm
'Cause he is all I ever wanted in my life
AmBbGm
And I know he doesn't know my name
DmAmBbGm
And that all the girls are all the same to him
DmAmBbGm
But still I've got to get out of this place
DmAmBbF
'Cause I don't think I can face another night
Pre-Chorus
G
Where I'm half sick of shadows
DmF7Am
And I can't see the sky
CBb
Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in
C
So why can't I

And the wind I know it's cold
Bridge
C
But there's willow trees
DmC7BbF
And little breezes, waves, and walls, and flowers
CDm
And there's moonlight every single night
AmGmF
As I'm locked in these towers
Bb
So I'll meet my death
F7Dm
But with my last breath I'll sing to him I love
BbF
And he'll see my face in another place
Dm
And with that the glass above
Verse
AmBbGm
Cracked into a million bits
DmAmBbGm
And she cried out, so the story fits
DmAmBbGm
But then I could have guessed it all along
DmAmBbDm
'Cause now some drama queen is gonna write a song for me
AmBbGm
She went down to her little boat
DmAmBbGm
And she broke the chain and began to float away
DmAmBbGm
And as the blood froze in her veins she said
DmAmBbF
Well then that explains a thing or two
Pre-Chorus
G
'Cause I know I'm the cursed one
DmF7Am
I know I'm meant to die
CBb
Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie
C
So why can't I
Chorus
