Verse 1:
B
She set out to make a change
G#m E F#m
And leave her broken, shattered past behind, past behind
B
Get back to the fairy tales
G#m E F#m
She dreamed about when she was just a child, just a child
Pre-Chorus 1:
G#m
She used to be an optimist
F#m
But now she sees the obvious
E Em
She’s running out of places to call home
G#m
At nighttime she cries out and lets
F#m
The skylights be her audience
E
Cause no one else will listen to
Em
Her sad and lonely song
Chorus:
B
She’s looking for an antidote
E
She’s looking for a man that won’t
G#m
Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul
F#m
Leave her in the freezing cold
B E
A remedy, that will take the pain away
G#m
So she can go and start her life over again
F#m Em B E
Let the broken pieces me--nd Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Verse 2:
B
At age 19 she’s tried it all
G#m E F#m
But can’t remove the poison from her veins, from her veins
B
She blames herself and tries to numb
G#m E F#m
The shame and guilt by self-inflicting pain, over and again
Pre-Chorus 2:
G#m
Something deep inside her heart
F#m
Kindles and ignites a spark
E Em
And burns like candles lighting up her dark
G#m
She feels the air and breathes it in
F#m
And dares herself to dream again
E Em
Lets go of all to search for something worth believing in
Chorus:
B
She’s looking for an antidote
E
She’s looking for a man that won’t
G#m
Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul
F#m
Leave her in the freezing cold
B E
A remedy, that will take the pain away
G#m
So she can go and start her life over again
F#m Em B
Let the broken pieces me--nd

Hold your head up high, You will get by
