Tom: C

            C                 Am
She was a saddened girl kept lots within
      F                     G
When asked she startle and tried to grin
 C                 Am
Always say it was nothing much
    F   G          C
Never emotional stricken
Am
Stricken with fraught
F                     G
Wrapped up tight like she was caught
C             Am
And when we’d pull her away
       F*
They’d come out laughing
G*
And would say


C   Am      F             G
 We are the people of the lock
   C                Am
We suffer with the absence of
F        G
 All her rotting thoughts
   C
So leave her
 Am
Leave her to be
   F                 G
We need her with her broken key
C                      Am
Still we’d try to pull her away
        F*
So they ripped out her veins
        G*
And she drained away

C*                    Am*
Years went by and she stayed all chained
F*                           G*
Chained by these people who relished her pain
C*                      Am*
Still we’d try to reach out to her
       F* G*       C
We were emotional sickened
Am
Sickened, distraught
F                     G
Tired of this filthy, rusty lock
C               Am
Showed her what she could be
    F*                     G*
And helped her pick up and mend her key


C    Am        F             G
 She faced the people of the lock
    C                              Am
She barged through their doors and upturned all
F           G
 Of their pathetic plots
    C
She told them
Am
Leave her to be
    F                G
She wasn’t alone and she could see
    C           Am
Her future, her family
    F*               G*
And very own shiny, unbroken key


C Am F G x2


C*                    Am*
Now she’s free healed mentally
F*               G*
No more locks or scarring deeds
C*             Am*
Ready for this life to be
  F*                      G*
Surrounded by friends and family
C*                 Am*
And whenever she’s feeling down
       F*                    G*
She’ll look up knowing she’s safe and sound
C*               Am*
In her heart she knows that she
       F*             G*
Has us all within her little key


C            Am           F             G
 One day she glimpsed the people of the lock
    C                      Am
She laughed in their faces as they choked
F       G
 On her happy thoughts
     C
They left her
Am
Left her to be
F                  G
Ran away when they saw her key
         C     Am
And were never seen again
    F               G         C ~
And this is how the story ends
