A blackened wick is what remains
Am F G C B
The flame was blown out just recently
F G C C B Am
Although the candle hadn't burned down to the stick
Am G F G
It won't be lit again, the day won't be so bright

We don't know what she may have been
E7 F
All we know is what she left behind
Am E
An apartment cluttered with children's toys,

Photos of good times

In the bedroom, there's sheets on the windows
E7 F
There's a four poster bed for a reason
Am E
There's a box on the floor full of secrets
E F G Am
It won't be opened
Am F G C B
Here older boys and girls would play
Am F G C B
All inhibitions were left behind
F G C B Am
As the door would close, her face begin to shine
Am G F G
This was her finest hour, this was her finest time
Am C G Am F Am
Now, she's gone, and it's not gonna be alright, not for me she's
F G Am Am G F
Gone but not forgotten, she's still here
F G Am Am G F
In all those years she touched so many lives
F G C C B Am
Who's gonna watch the little girl she left behind?
F C E
Carol Anne stands alone in the school yard
F C E G G#
All the other children have gone
Am F
After waiting for hours,
G Am F E
She can't understand why her mother left her sad
F G E Am F G C B
F G
In the darkness she sees definition
E F
In the silence, she hears someone calling
Am E
After nightmares, she lies in bed screaming
F G
But there's no one listening, there's no one
