Verse 1:
              Dm
They found an empty bottle
       Am
on her windowsill
    Gm
The day her mother 
          F       A
lost her sleeping pills
        Dm
She was sick and 
                 Am
tired of being invisible
        Gm
Hard to see in color 
            F     A
when you're miserable


Chorus 1:
  Bb    A A4        Gm    F
Veronika    Saint Veronika
         A          Em/C# 
You can't leave this world 
F2/C# Dm  Edim Dm2
be----hind
       Bb          A   A4   Gm     F
So be strong enough to hold onto us
           A          Em/C# F2/C# 
We're still right here by    your  
Dm  Edim Dm2
side


Post chorus: Dm-- x4


Verse 2:
       Dm
No one ever thought 
             Am
that she was capable
        Gm
And the damage done 
       F    A
is irreversible
        Dm
Now she clings to life
         Am
inside a hospital
           Gm
Like she's trapped 
                F    A
inside a frozen waterfall
       Dm
Always said her life 
          Am
was never meant to be
Gm
Stuck here living 
        F      A
someone else's dream
       Dm
Well beyond your window 
         Am
there is so much more
     Gm                 F    A
Even every prison has a open door


Chorus 2:
  Bb    A A4        Gm    F
Veronika    Saint Veronika
         A          Em/C# 
You can't leave this world 
F2/C# Dm  Edim Dm2
be----hind
       Bb          A   A4   Gm     F
So be strong enough to hold onto us
         A        Em/C# F2/C# Dm 
it's just not your time  to    die
Edim Dm2


Guitar Solo: Dm--Am--Gm--F--Gm-Em-- 
x4


Bridge:
              Dm
And while the angels sleep
           Am
All of the devils are awake
           Gm
Waiting to steal your love
         F                Em
Right outside of Heaven's gate
            Dm
And all the sacred hearts
               A
can't numb the feeling from the pain
               Gm
Cause when the drugs don't work
             F              Em
you're gonna curse His holy name
  Dm Am
deny you!!!
  Gm F  Gm Em
deny you!!!
  Dm Am
deny you!!!
  Gm F  Gm Em
deny you!!!
