[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am]
[F][Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am][F][Dm][Am][E]
[F][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Am]She's locked up with a [F]spinning wheel
[Dm]She [Am]can't recall what it was l[F]ike to feel
[Dm]She [Am]says, "This room's
gonna [F]be my grave
[Dm]And there's no o[Am]ne
who can [F]save [Dm]me,"
[Am]She sits down to her c[F]olored thread
[Dm]She knows [Am]lovers waking
up [F]in their bed[Dm]s
She [Am]says, "How long can I [F]live this way
[Dm]Is there someo[Am]ne I can[Em]
[F]pay to let [C]me go
'Cause I'm [Dm]half sick of shadows
[Am]I want to see the sky
Every[G]one else can watch
as the sun [F]goes down
So why can't [G]I[A]
Chorus: And [E]it's raining

[Verse 2]
[A]And the stars
are falling
[D]from the sky
[F]And the wind
And the wind [G]I know it's cold
[A]I've been wai[E]ting
For [A]the day I will [D]surely die
[F]And it's here
And it's here for [Em]I've been [Dm]told
That I'll die be[Em]fore I'm [F]old
And the wind I know [G]it's [Am]cold.[E].."[F]
[Dm][E][F][Dm][E][F][Dm][E][F][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Am]She looks up to the [F]mirrored glass
[Dm]She [Am]sees a horse and r[F]ider pass
[Dm]She [Am]says, "This man's
gonna [F]be my death
[Dm]'Cause he's [Am]all I ever w[F]anted in my life
[Am]And I know[Em] he doesn't know[F] my name
[Dm]And that all the girls[Em] are all[F]
the same [Dm]to him
But still I've [Em]got to get
[F]out of this place
[Dm]'Cause I [Am]don't think [Em]I
can [F]face another night
[C]Where I'm half sic[D]k of shadows
[Am]And I can't see the sky
Every[G]one else can watch
as the tide [F]comes in
So why can't [G]I

[G][A][E][A][D][F][Em]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Chorus[Em][F][G]
[C]But there's [G]willow trees
And [Dm]little breezes, waves,
and [G]walls, and flowers
[C]And there's [G]moonlight every [Dm]single night
As I'm locked [G]in these [Dm]towers
So I'll [F]meet my death
But with my [C]last breath
I'll [G]sing to him I love
[Dm]And he'll see my f[F]ace
in an[C]other place,"
And with [G]that the glass above

[Verse 5]
[G]Her cracked [Am]into a million bit[Dm]s
[Am]And she cried [Em]out, "So the [F]story fit[Dm]s
But then [Am]I could have guessed
it [F]all along
[Am]'Cause now some drama [E]queen
is gonna write a song for me,"
[Am]She went down to her l[F]ittle boat
[Dm]And [Am]she broke the chains
[F]and began [Dm]to float away
And as the [E]blood froze [F]in her
vein[Dm]s she said,
[Am]"Well then [E]that ex[F]plains
a thing [C]or two
'Cause I know I'm [D]the cursed one
[Am]I know I'm meant to die
Everyone [G]else can watch
as their dreams [F]untie
So why can't [G]I
