G G/B Em C
[Verse 1]
G
She never really had a chance
G/B
On that fateful moonlit night
Em7
Sacrificed without a fight
C
A victim of her circumstance
G
Now that I've become aware
G/B
And I've exposed this tragedy
Em7
A sadness grows inside of me
C
It all seems so unfair
Em7
I'm learning all about my life
D
By looking through her eyes
G
Just beyond the churchyard gates
G/B
Where the grass is overgrown
Em7
I saw the writing on her stone
C
I felt like I would suffocate
G
In loving memory of our child
G/B
So innocent, eyes open wide
Em7
I felt so empty as I cried
C
Like part of me had died
Em7
I'm learning all about my life
D
By looking through her eyes
Am7
And as her image
C
Wandered through my head
G
I wept just like a baby
D
As I lay awake in bed
Am7
And I know what it's like
C
To lose someone you love
G D
And this felt just the same
G
She wasn't given any choice
G/B
Desperation stole her voice
Em7
I've been given so much more in life
C
I've got a son, I've got a wife
G
I had to suffer one last time
G/B
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Em7
Relive the anguish of my past
C
To find out who I was at last
Em7
The door has opened wide
D
I'm turning with the tide
D
Looking through her eyes
G G/B Em C
