[Intro]
Em Am Em Am
[Verse 1]
Em Am Em
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.
[Chorus]
C G C Em C
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.
Em Am
[Verse 2]
Em Am Em
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.
[Chorus]
C G C Em C
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
Sleeping pills and alcohol, and nights she’d rather not recall for a broken Barbie doll.
[Verse 3]
Am C Am Em
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.
Em Am
[Chorus]
G C G C Em C
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
Sleeping pills and alcohol, and nights she’d really rather not recall for a broken Barbie,
Em
Broken Barbie doll.
[Outro]
C Em
Broken Barbie, broken Barbie doll.
C Em
For a broken Barbie, broken Barbie doll.
C Em
Broken Barbie, broken Barbie doll.
C Em
For a broken Barbie, broken Barbie doll.
C Em
Broken Barbie, broken Barbie doll.
