My Heroine

[Intro]
E5 C5 D5 E5 C5 D5

[Verse 1]
    E5      C5     D5
The drugs begin to peak
  E5       C5             D5
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
    E5               D5
And heartbeats pound softer

[Pre-Chorus]
E5        C5          D5
You won't try to save me
E5       C5           D5
You just want to hurt me
And leave me desperate

[Chorus]
C5   D5               E5
  You  taught my heart
                          C5 D5
A sense I never knew I had  I
          E5    G5
can forget  the times that I was
C5          D5              E5
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
C5              D5
  You're my heroine

[Pre-Chorus]
E5        C5        D5
You won't leave me alone
E5        C5           D5
Chisel my heart out of stone
I give in every time

[Chorus]
C5   D5               E5
  You  taught my heart
                          C5 D5
A sense I never knew I had  I
          E5    G5
can forget  the times that I was
C5          D5              E5
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
C5              D5
  You're my heroine

[Bridge]
G5          B5           E5           D5               C5  G5
  I bet you laugh at the thought of me  thinking for myself
            B5             E5              D5
I bet you believe that I'm better off with you than someone
C5
else

[Verse 2]
         E5  C5     D5
Your face  arrives again
  E5     C5             D5
A hope I had becomes so real
    C5         D5           E5           D5
But under your cover's more torture than pleasure
    C5             D5                E5         D5
And just past your lips there's more anger than laughter
    C5       D5         E5     D5
Not now or forever will I ever change you
  C5           D5          E5
I know that to go on, I'll break you,
   D5   C5   D5
my habit  You

[Chorus]
               E5
taught my heart
                          C5 D5
A sense I never knew I had  I
          E5    G5
can forget  the times that I was
C5          D5              E5
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
C5              D5
  You're my heroine

[Outro]
E5     C5     D5  E5
I will save myself
