She was a middle class girl, She was in over her head A|-2-3--
Am
She thought she could stand up in the deep end
D|-----0-
He had a bulletproof smile, He had money to burn A|-2-3--
She thought she, Had the moon, In her pocket
And now she's dead,.. She's so dead, Forever dead and lovely now
I've, always been told to, re-member this
Don't let a, fool kiss you, Never marry for love
D|-----0-
He was hard to impress, He knew everyone's secrets A|-2-3---
Am
He wore her, On his arm just like jewlery
D|-----0-
He never gave but he got, He kept her on a leash A|-2-3---
He's not the kind of wheel you fall a-sleep at
But now she's dead, Forever dead, Forever dead and lovely now
Come closer, Look deeper, You're falling fast
Just like a, Plane on a, Stormy sea
D|-----0-
She made up someone to be, She made up somewhere to be from A|-2-3---
Am
This is one business in the world, Where theres no problem with that
D|-----0-
Everything that is left, They will only plow under A|-2-3---
Soon everyone you knew, Will be gone
And now she's dead, Forever dead, Forever dead and lovely now
But now she's dead, Forever dead, Forever dead and lovely now
I've, always been told to re-member this,
Don't let a kiss fool ya, Never marry for love
D|-----0-
Everything has it's price, Everything has it's place A|-2-3---
Am
Whats more romantic than dyin' in the moonlight
D|-----0-
Now they are watching the sea, Whats lost can never be broken A|-2-3---
Her roots were sweet, But they were so shallow
And now she's dead, Forever dead, Forever dead and lovely now
And now she's dead, Forever dead, And she's so dead and lovely now
