       C5  G5  A5 
 
C5             G5             A5       G5 
She walks to school with the lunch she packed 
C5       G5              A5     G5 
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back 
C5           G5              A5       G5 
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday 
C5             G5           A5       G5      C5  G5  A5  G5 
She hides the bruises with linen and lace, ooh 
 

C5           G5            A5       G5 
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask 
C5            G5             A5      G5 
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask 
C5           G5         A5     G5 
Bearing the burden of a secret storm 
C5             G5             A5   G5 
Sometimes she wishes she was never born 


            C5            G5 
Through the wind and the rain 
           A5         G5 
She stands hard as a stone 
     C5              G5           A5 
In a world that she can't rise above 
G5        C5              G5 
But her dreams give her wings 
        A5         G5                 C5 
And she flies to a place where she's loved 
D5 
Concrete angel

C5  G5  A5 
 
C5         G5          A5           G5 
Somebody cries in the middle of the night 
C5             G5            A5           G5 
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights 
C5          G5                A5      G5 
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate 
C5             G5        A5      G5 
When morning comes it'll be too late 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
Solo: C5  G5  A5  G5 

     C5  G5  A5 
 
C5         G5         A5     G5 
A statue stands in a shaded place 
C5        G5          A5       G5 
An angel girl with an upturned face 
C5          G5          A5      G5 
A name is written on a polished rock 
C5         G5           A5       G5 
A broken heart that the world forgot 
 
CHORUS
