Madeline

[E]There's a girl back I used to know,
who cried herself to sleep every night.                   [B]

we all knew.

we all knew.
[E]The only girl who would ever compromise,
strike a deal with the devil to save a night.                    [B]

we all knew.

we all knew.
[E]She tried to call me a month ago,
to sing me a song that she just wrote.                  [B]

but I wasn't home,
I should've known that time had taken it'[Abm]s toll.

she had no place to go,
they fo[Eb]und her body,

resting by the river.

[Abm]Oh        [E]
I never said goodbye.          [B]
[Eb]I wish I would have tried.      [Abm]
[E]I couldn't hear her cries, as she filled he[B]r veins with lies,
[Eb]until she saw the light.      [E]

[E]I remember we would hide behind the trees,
smoking cigarettes until our throats would bleed.                            [B]

Those were the days.

Those were the days.

[E]Never scared, never worried that the summer would end.

Invincible to every short bend.
[B]We drove so fast,

thought it would last.
but tim[Abm]e had taken had taken it's toll,
[E]she had no place to go.
They fou[Eb]nd her body resting by the river.

Repeat Chorus:

[Abm]Madeline.

Madeline.
[B]You will be remembered.
[Abm]Madeline.

Madeline.
[B]We still have September.
[Abm]Madeline.

Madeline.
[B]We'll see you on the other side.              [C#m]                              [Eb]

[Abm]If I could turn back time,
[E]I'd find a way to remind you             [B]
that somehow you could try to give in and fi[Eb]ght the good fight                             [Abm]
[E]oh you didn't have to die,            [B]
you filled your veins with lies,              [Eb]

My Precious Madeline
