Standard (EADGBE)

(note: with the beginning D chord, stretch your pinky to the 5th fret of the e string to

get the right note)

Chorus

 I met a girl who hated the world - she used her body to sell her soul

 Everytime they'd break her and pay - tear out her heart, and leave her in

pain

 I never found out how she survived all of the sadness and pain kept inside

I never found out how she could lie with a smile on her face,

 and the scratches she'd hide

Chorus

]

You could love her if you paid, you could have her everyday

You could love her if you prayed, you could have her every way

(The chords are the same for the next verse and chorus)

Down on her knees, she wept on the floor - this hopeless life she wanted no more

Dead in her mind and cold to the bone - she opened her eyes and saw she was alone

She never found out how much I tried - all of the sadness she kept made me blind

She never found out how much I cried - the rope so tight on the night that she died...

Chorus

I never found out how she survived - a life lived in lies is a life of denial

I never found out how she could lie - with a smile on her face and the darkness inside
