Standard (EADGBE)

She packed her bags and she ran away

Heading off to California

Their summer’s in the sun

Are always better out there

Little girl with the dream inside her heart

Is popping pills despite the artistry

They make believe that someday she’ll be happy

(Pre-chorus)

And I do not think you’re ready

Your mind is much

Much too young

Your heart is a machete

And it’s cutting straight through

(Chorus)

Cuz I wanted this so bad

and I tried to make it last

and I tried to hold on tightly

It wasn’t hard

You played the part don’t you go giving up on me

and I tried to take it back

And I tried to hold on tightly

No it wasn’t hard

It wasn’t hard

(back to verse chords)

Giving up on me

Giving up on me

Giving up on me

No it wasn’t hard

(Verse)

She tied her arm just to find the vein

Circumstances left her lonely

She’s got nothing to hold

Except for what she thinks now

About the prices that you pay

For having the heart that dreams of the days

When we will finally find ourselves

(Pre-chorus)

And I do not think you’re ready

Your mind is much

Much too young

Your heart is a machete

And it’s cutting straight through

(Bridge)

For you cuz

You don’t understand

What I mean

When I am all I have

In the end

We just are what we are

Just know one thing

(Chorus)

Cuz I wanted this so bad

And I tried to make it last

And I tried to hold on tightly

It wasn’t hard

You played the part don’t you go giving up on me

And I tried to take it back

And I tried to hold on tightly

No it wasn’t hard

It wasn’t hard

Giving up on me

Giving up on me

Giving up on me

No it wasn’t hard
