[Verse]
G Em Bm G
Regaining her composure, she made a break for the door,
Em Bm G
She couldn't bare to stare into his cold dead eyes any more,
Em Bm G
With every step she took, the room turned a deeper shade of gray,
Em Bm G
By the time she'd dried her tears, all the colour had faded away.
G Em Bmx2
G Em Bm G
The day the mine closed was the day things started to change,
Em Bm G
What little money he had left funded an alcoholic rage,
Em Bm G
To the extent that he was barely the same man anymore,
Em Bm G
Tobacco papers, broken glass and empty cans on the floor,
G Em Bm x2
G Em Bm G
Six months of booze and beatings drove to react that way,
Em Bm G
She'd never hurt a fly before that cold wet November's day,
Em Bm G
She hid under the stairs and waited till the time she thought best,
Em Bm G
She took a knife and drove it through his back with all the strength she had left,
G Em Bm x2
G Em Bm G
She sat and thought about the situation she was in,
Em Bm G
She was a murderer and an orphan and her only next of kin,
Em Bm G
Was a grandfather who lived so many miles away,
Em Bm G
At a loss for things to do she began to pray,
[Bridge] (power chords)
B C E A
"Father, help me. I couldn't stand it anymore,
B C E A
I am 15, and alone, and behind that wooden door,
B C E A
Lies the body of the person who has made my life a misery,
B C D(hold)
I need a plan, I need a solution, set me free"
And it came to her, she thought (muted):
G Em C G Em C G
I can hide the body underneath the shed where they won't find him
Em C G
No they won't find him
G Em C G Em C G
I can hide the body underneath the shed where they won't find him
Em C G
No they won't find him
[Outro]
(unmute): Em C
G Em C G Em C G
I can hide the body underneath the shed where they won't find him
Em C G
No they won't find him
G Em C G Em C G
I can hide the body underneath the shed where they won't find him
Em C G Em C
No they won't find him
G Em C G Em C G Em C G Em C
So she hid his body underneath the shed, they never found him, they're not even looking.
G Em C G Em C G
She took the next train out of town and moved in with her grandad, she never told him.
Em C G
He never asked.
The riff changes to this at the end:
