^AOur faith is placed in second chances A^Cs the angel and her de^Dmons dance it’s

^CLike you’re ^Em18 years ^Din with^G no way^C out And you’re the^Em star of the^D story you^G don’t ca^Cre about Just a lit^Emtle girl in a ^Dbigger world turning ^Gupside-d^Cown Well, don’t’ ^Emyou throw it a^Dll away when no one^G’s here to pu^Cll you out

^EmAnd when you’re^C safe and^G sound^D inside y^Emour bed I know you d^Cream of th^Gings bigger than th^De things that yo^Emu let live When you’r^Ce safe an^Gd soun^Dd inside you^Emr bed
