Katie you're a brave girl, and I know its only just started.
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
I'm gonna be there at 6, with some flowers on sticks
G D
That were clipped just to make the weak strong.

And Katie, its a strange world when girls can get so broken hearted

If it were me and the universe, I'd get the worst of this gone.

We all fade sometimes, I believe
