Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][E][Am]

[Verse 1]
She was a middle class [Am]girl
She was in [E]over her [Am]head[Dm]
She thought she would stand
up in the [Am]deep end

[Verse 2]
He had a bullet proof [Am]smile
He had money to [Dm]burn
She thought she had the
moon in her pocket
[Am]

[Verse 3]
But now she's dead
[F]She's so dea[Am]d[F]
Forever [Am]dead and [F]lovely [E]now
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
[Bb]I've always [E]been told to
[Dm]remember [Bb]this[Am]
Don't let [F]a fool kiss y[B]ou
Never marry for love
[E]

[Verse 5]
He was hard to [Am]impress
He knew everyone's [Dm]secrets
He wore her on his arm just like jewelry
[Am]

[Verse 6]
He never gave but he got
He kept her on [Dm]a leash
He's not the kind of wheel
you fall [Am]asleep at

[Verse 7]
[Am]But now she's [F]dead
[Am]Forever [F]dead
[Am]Forever dead and
[F]lovely [E]now
[Am]

[Verse 8]
[Dm]
Come closer,
[Am]look[Bb] deeper[Dm]
You've fallen [Bb]fast[Am]
Just like [F]a plane on a[B] stormy sea
[E]

[Verse 9]
She made up someone [Am]to be[Dm][Am]
She made up somewhere [Dm]to be fr[Am]om
[Dm]This is one business in the world where
that's no prob[Am]lem at all

[Verse 10]
Everything that is [Am]left
They will only plow [Dm]under
Soon every one you knew will be gone
[Am]

[Verse 11]
And now she's dead
[F]Forever [Am]dead[E][Am][F]
[Am]Forever dead and [F]lovely [E]now[Am]
[E][Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm]
[Am][Dm]
[Am]

[Verse 12]
But now she's [Am]dead
[F]Forever dea[Am]d[F]
Forever [Am]dead and [F]lovely [E]now[Am][Dm]

[Verse 13]
[Bb]I've always been told to[Dm]
remember [Bb]this[Am]
Don't let [F]a kiss fool y[B]ou
Never marry for love
[E]

[Verse 14]
Everything has [Am]its price
[E]Everything has [Am]its p[E]lace[Am][Dm]
What's more romantic then
dying in the moonlight?
[Am]

[Verse 15]
Now they're all
watching the sea
What's lost can never be [Dm]broken
Her roots were sweet but
they were so [Am]shallow

[Verse 16]
And now she's [Am]dead[F]
Forever [Am]dead[F]
Forever [Am]dead and [F]lovely [E]now
[Am]

[Verse 17]
And now she's [F]dead
Forever [Am]dead[F]
And she's so [Am]dead and [F]lovely [Am]now
