My Heroine

The drugs begin to peak
Solo
A smile of joy arrives in me
     C5         D5        E5        D5
But sedation changes to panic and nausea
     C5               D5
And breath starts to shorten
     Em                D5
And heartbeats pound softer
Em        C5        D5
You won't try to save me!

Em         C5          D5   C
You just want to hurt me

 and leave me desperate!
C      D          Em                            C
You taught my heart, a sense I never knew I had.
      D       Em                     C
I can forget, the times that I was
           D                Em
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
                    C
How do you do it?
               D
You're my heroine!
Em          C5        D5
You won't leave me alone!

Em         C5            D5
Chisel my heart out of stone

I give in everytime
C      D        Em                                 C
You taught my heart, a sense I never knew I had.
   D     Em
I can forget, the times that I was
C           D                Em
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
                    C
How do you do it?
               D        G5
You're my heroine!
          B5              Em5           D5              C5          D5    G5
I bet you laugh, at the thought of me thinking for myself. (myself)
           B5                Em5               D5                C5
I bet you believe, that I'm better off with you than someone else.
Solo                   Solo
Your face arrives again, all hope I had becomes surreal.
C5            D5          Em5          D5
But under your covers more torture than pleasure
   C5              D5                 Em5            D5
And just past your lips there's more anger than laughter
    C5       D5          Em5       D5
Not now or forever will I ever change you
   C5          D5           Em           D5         C
I know that to go on, I'll break you, my habit!
      D        Em                                 C
You taught my heart, a sense I never knew I had.
   D     Em
I can forget, the times that I was
C           D                Em
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
                    C
How do you do it?
               D
You're my heroine!
Em       C5    D5
I will save myself!
