[INTRO]
Am G
The city's on fire
F
The streets are a riot
F G
Now look at this place, no one is safe
Em Am
No one is safe from you
[VERSE ONE]
Am
So beautiful, she knew it every single day
G
Got a smile that left him right around the way
F
Yeah, makes you feel good, wondering why she stays
G
So afraid, afraid of you
Am
She need a sedative to get her straight
G
You know she need a cigarette, she got the shakes
F
Put them sunglasses on to hide her face
G Am
Such a waste, a waste on you
[PRE-CHORUS]
Am G
Tell me, why you ashamed?
G F
Too scared to run away
F G
You love him anyway
G Am
Surviving just on the pain

[VERSE THREE]
Am
Still in shock from the blast, sure the neighbors heard it
G
Now or never, crossed a man and it wasn't worth it
F
No regrets from what the judge calls a bad decision
G
Now she's doing twenty years in a women's prison
Am
Yeah, she'll never have her life, will she feel at all?
G
She'll never know what it's like not to feel alone
F
No kids that will love her unconditional
G
No cure for a sickness that's medicinal
[BRIDGE]
Am
She flying high in her cell, she can finally breathe
G
She flying high outta hell, now she finally free
F
Man, he fed her to the lions, that monster
He promised her diamonds for silence
Am
It's the history of violence
