Intro: GBmEmCDGDEmCGD/F#
She never really had a chance On that fateful moonlit night
EmC
Sacrificed without a fight A victim of her circumstance
GD/F#
Now that I've become aware And I've exposed this tragedy
EmCA sadness grows inside of me It all seems so unfair
EmDG
I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes
GD/F#
Just beyond the churchyard gates Where the grass is overgrown
EmC
I saw the writing on her stone I felt like I would suffocate
GD/F#
In loving memory of our child So innocent, eyes open wide
EmC
I felt so empty as I cried Like part of me had died
EmDAm
I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes
C
And as her image Wandered through my head
GD
I wept just like a baby As I lay awake in bed
AmC
And I know what it's like To lose someone you love
EmD
And this felt just the same
GD/F#
She wasn't given any choice Desperation stole her voice I've been
EmC
given so much more in life I've got a son, I've got a wife
GD/F#
I had to suffer one last time To grieve for her and say goodbye
EmC
Relive the anguish of my past To find out who I was at last
EmD
The door has opened wide
CAmG
I'm turning with the tide Looking through her eyes.
