Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Intro: Em  C  D x2

      Em      C       D
The drugs begin to peak
      Em       C            D
A smile of joy arrives in me
      C          D           Em       G
But sedation changes to panic and nausea
      C                  D
And breath starts to shorten
      Em                 D
And heartbeats pound softer
 Em          C         D
You wonʼt try to save me!
 Em           C           D                  C
You just want to hurt me and leave me desperate!

       D          Em         Em7             C
You taught my heart, a sense I never knew I had.
    D       Em           G
I canʼt forget, the times that I was
 C             D                  Em
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
     Em7       C
How do you do it?
               D
Youʼre my heroine!

 Em            C       D
You wonʼt leave me alone!
 Em           C            D                    C
Chisel my heart out of stone, I give in everytime.

       D          Em         Em7              C
You taught my heart, a sense I never knew I had.
    D       Em           G
I canʼt forget, the times that I was
 C             D                  Em
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
     Em7        C
How do you do it?
             D   G
Youʼre my heroine!

            B            Em             D         C D   G
I bet you laugh, at the thought of me thinking for myself. (myself)
            B                  Em             D          C
I bet you believe, that Iʼm better off with you than someone else.
       Em      C        D            Em     C       D
Your face arrives again, all hope I had becomes surreal.
      C            D             Em           G
But under your covers more torture than pleasure
      C                D                   Em        G
And just past your lips thereʼs more anger than laughter
     C          D            Em       G
Not now or forever will I ever change you
     C            D              Em       D   C
I know that to go on, Iʼll break you, my habit!

       D          Em         E7               C
You taught my heart, a sense I never knew I had.
    D       Em           G
I canʼt forget, the times that I was
 C             D                  Em
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
      Em7       C
How do you do it?
               D
Youʼre my heroine!

 Em         C  D  Em
I will save myself!
