[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A
I think her gun's unloaded now
  G              D             A
I guess tomorrow will be after all
A
Who made me judge and jury here?
   G                 D
It seems I'm bearing witness
       A    G
to her fall

[Chorus]
        D
I don't know why she cries to me
A
She keeps her pain as company
       G          D
Because it's only time before
           A
we all must bleed

[Verse 2]
A                       G
Mirrors of her memory reflect
        D                  A
Nothing with each word she says
A
Her views have got me spinning around
     G
I think she's burning
D              A
alters in my head

[Chorus]
G                D
What in the world she cries to me
A
She keeps her pain as company
       G          D
Because it's only time before
           A
we all must bleed
G                D
What in the world she cries to me
A
She keeps her pain as company
       G          D
Because it's only time before
           A
we all must bleed
