Broken Barbie Doll

 Back when she was a girl there was a plan to see her through her life:
                             Am                                Em
Get married, settle down and have some kids and be a good housewife
                           Am                                  Em
But she would go to bed at night, with Day-Glo stars and fairy lights
                            Am                             G
Stuck on the ceiling of her room as she dreamed of another life.

Now it’s too late to go back home, it’s saccharine and silicone, for a broken Barbie doll
G              C             G                     C            Em         C
 It’s sleeping pills and alcohol, and nights she’d rather not recall for a broken Barbie doll.

 And though the hands that played with her were cold, she let them drag her down
                             Am                               G
And as her cardboard world begins to fold, she’s lying on the ground.

 Sleeping pills and alcohol, and nights she’d rather not recall for a broken Barbie doll.

 Her mother writes her every week, she says she’s worried for her health
                               G                                Am
Her dad says she’s finding her feet, but now she’s lying on the shelf
                             Cm                                 Em
Like faulty goods that are returned, her pretty fingers are all burned.

 Sleeping pills and alcohol, and nights she’d really rather not recall for a broken Barbie,
