I Bet you never thought, that it would, turn out like this. 
 Am                 F        C             G 
___Mama's little girl, and daddy's little princess.
C                          F         Am                  
But somewhere in your fairy tale, everything went wrong.

Now the sun don't shine the words don't rhyme,

But you took it like a woman,

Pushed too far, pulled too

Hard, deeply scarred,

But he was, really Mr. Hyde, ___You gave him your most precious 
      C                        G   
Gift. You were his bleeding bride. 
  Am                F                C                             G
He tied you up, pulled you hair. He slapped your innocent face.
G#                                                                        Bb
