[Verse 1]
C G C
She’s just a girl born in stormy weather
Am Dm G
Her heart a victim of the wreckage left behind
C G Am
But she’s somehow managed to pull it all together
Am Dm G
Strong enough to dig a hole and bury it inside
[Verse 2]
C G C
And the boys in her town seem to take pleasure
Am Dm G
In mining little hard pieces to help them feel alive
C G Am
And the cycle seems to turn like this forever
Am Dm G
Leaving ripples in its way, rolling through all times
[Chorus]
F G C
Now she says "Lock the door behind when you leave the bed
Am G C
I've learned the hard way it’s better to rest instead
F G Dm
Of worry on these things I can’t control
Am G
If there’s something that needs said
F Am
Let me climb down in this hole
F G C Am
Because I’ve only half a heart to break
F G C
So be gentle when you let me down"
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
F G C
There’s no easy way to prove that I’m a keeper
F G C
Consistency lacks what a ring provides
F G C
So we’ll go on holding on like this together
F G C Am
Clearing any wreckage for those following behind
[Chorus]
F G C
Now she says "Lock the door behind when you leave the bed
Am G C
I've learn the hard way it’s better to rest instead
F G Dm
Of worry on these things I can’t control
Am G
If there’s something that need said
F Am
Let me climb down in this hole
F G C Am
'Cause I’ve only half a heart to break
F G C
So be gentle when you let me down
F G C
So be gentle when you let me down"
