Intro: C  G/B  Am7  G
      C  G/B  Am7

C             G/B             Am7       G
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
C       G/B              Am7     G
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
C           G/B              Am7       G
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
C             G/B           Am7       G      C  G/B  Am7  G
She hides the bruises with linen and lace, ooh

C           G/B            Am7       G
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
C            G/B             Am7      G
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
C           G/B         Am7     G
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
C             G/B             Am7   G
Sometimes she wishes she was never born


Chorus:
            C            G
Through the wind and the rain
           Am         G
She stands hard as a stone
     C              G           Am
In a world that she can't rise above
G        C              G
But her dreams give her wings
        Am         G                 C
And she flies to a place where she's loved
D
Concrete angel


C  G/B  Am7  G
C  G/B  Am7

C         G/B          Am7           G
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
C             G/B            Am7           G
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
C          G/B                Am7      G
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
C             G/B        Am7      G
When morning comes it'll be too late


CHORUS


Solo: C  G/B  Am7  G
     C  G/B  Am7

C         G/B         Am7     G
A statue stands in a shaded place
C        G/B          Am7       G
An angel girl with an upturned face
C          G/B          Am7      G
A name is written on a polished rock
C         G/B           Am7       G
A broken heart that the world forgot


CHORUS
