C G/B Am7/Am
[Verse 1]
C G/B Am7/Am G
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
C G/B Am7/Am G
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
C G/B Am7/Am G
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
C G/B Am7/Am G C G/B Am7/Am G
She hides the bruises with linen and lace ooh
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am7/Am G
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
C G/B Am7/Am G
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
C G/B Am7/Am G
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
C G/B Am7/Am G
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
[Chorus]
C G
Through the wind and the rain
Am G
She stands hard as a stone
C G Am
In a world that she can't rise above
G C G
But her dreams give her wings
Am G C
And she flies to a place where she's loved
D
Concrete angel
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C G/B Am7/Am G
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
C G/B Am7/Am G
The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights
C G/B Am7/Am G
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
C G/B Am7/Am G
When morning comes it'll be too late
[Chorus]
C G
Through the wind and the rain
Am G
She stands hard as a stone
C G Am
In a world that she can't rise above
G C G
But her dreams give her wings
Am G C
And she flies to a place where she's loved
D
Concrete angel
[Solo]

C G/B Am7/Am
[Verse 4]
C G/B Am7/Am G
A statue stands in a shaded place
C G/B Am7/Am G
An angel girl with an upturned face
C G/B Am7/Am G
A name is written on a polished rock
C G/B Am7/Am G
A broken heart that the world forgot
[Chorus]
C G
Through the wind and the rain
Am G
She stands hard as a stone
C G Am
In a world that she can't rise above
G C G
But her dreams give her wings
Am G C
And she flies to a place where she's loved
D
Concrete angel
