Intro
C G Em D
Verse 1
C G
You started life as double lines nobody planned for
Em D
Wiped all your mother's tears, growing up too fast
C G
And all alone, you played a role you never asked for
Em D
Feeling everybody's fears, but what choice did you have?
Pre-Chorus
C G
Your parents were fighting, your younger brothers were crying
Em D
And you were a soldier in hiding in your bedroom
C G
Trying to keep it locked up inside, and you just ignored all the sirens
Em D
If I could Go back in time and try to write it all out
Chorus
C G
Note to self
Em
I know you had to get us through some hell
D C
You couldn't put a name to what you felt
G
'Cause you never hurt like that before
Em D
But you ain't alone anymore, no
C G
I got you now
Post-Chorus
Em D
(I got you now)
Verse 2
C G
Losing love and all your friends and a little bit of innocence
Em D
No one asked you anything, just made you feel guilty
C G
So you try to keep between the lines, from the backseat of your life
Em D
Couldn't control anything but the size of your jeans
Pre-Chorus
C G
Even the praying and preaching, they couldn't fight off the demons
Em D
And you were silently screaming, "Somebody listen to me"
C G
You didn't know what you needed, you wouldn't show any
weakness
Em D
If there was a way you could read it, girl, I'd tell you now
Chorus
C G
Note to self
Em
I know you had to get us through some hell
D C
You couldn't put a name to what you felt
G
'Cause you never hurt like that before
Em D
But you ain't alone anymore, no
Bridge
C G
And all of the screams that just stayed in your head
Em D
All of the questions that scared you to death
C G
It was a prison and you got us out
Em D
But you can let go, girl, you can break down 'cause
C
I got you now.
G Em
Yeah, I got you now
D C
Oh (I got you now)
G
(Praying and preaching, they couldn't fight off the demons)
Em D
(Somebody listen to me)
(I got you now)
Chorus
C G
Note to self
Em
Just know that it's okay to ask for help
D C
You don't gotta be afraid 'cause.
G
I can tell you, life and people let you down
Em D
But where I'm standing here and now
It all works out
