I was gonna be your doctor but I could not find your heartbeat. 
A                   E              B   / C#m / B 
your blood may as well be running cold. 
E                           A               E 
I was gonna be your driver, taxi on your journey. 
A                  E                 B   / C#m / B 
I got lost on your long and winding road.

But the Chemicals inside my body

were telling me to walk away.

I was gonna be your painter, but I could not trace your outline, 
     A                E                      B  / C#m / B

you're love drunk and I am stone cold sober.

I was gonna be your angel, no wings grew from my shoulders, 
    A           E               B  / C#m / B 
no halo hanging over these red curls 
        E                              A             E 
Now I'm always gonna be your failure, memory growing older, 
   A           E                 B  / C#m 
Forever be the lost and lonely girl
