[Verse]
E A E
They told me stories of my father
A E
And I followed where I'm wanted
A C B
I was soft, and I feared them all
E A E
Will I ever be a mother?
A E
Every girl is bound to wonder
A C B
Or will you pull me the other way?
A E
Sometimes I dream of home
A C#m B
But the memory's quickly fading
A E
A house with a red door
A C#m B A
Or was it just my imagination?
E A E
Written in the constellations
A E
I'll stand alone with my creations
A C B
Isn't that what a mother does?
E A E
Still I feel as though I made ya
A E
You were just a hand grenade, but
A C B
Soon you could be an atom bomb
A E
All of those I've loved
A C#m B
Into the past they keep disappearing
A E
Dark and twisted ghosts
A C#m B A
Things I'll never hold while I'm living
G#m C#m F#m B
Sometimes it seems like I can see so far
A E A E
Following a bleeding star
G#m C#m F#m A
I've been tracing all the miles you've flown
E A E A B
How you've grown, how you've grown
E A E
Rage of the world on my shoulders
A E
It has made me a soldier
A C B
I can hear their voices in my veins
E A E
Burning skies raining on me
A E
Scorched earth like Nagasaki
A C B
I have learned how to scream my name
A E
Sometimes I feel so young
A C#m B
Why can't I have all we were made for?
A E
A woman of the world
A C#m B
And a bullet safe in the chamber
A E
All of those I've loved
A C#m B
Into the past they keep disappearing
A E
Dark and twisted ghosts
A C#m B A
Things I'll never hold while I'm living
E A E
I was the dragon's daughter
A E
My blood's still got that fire
A C B
I'll turn back just to watch them burn
