Baby Don't Cut Chords

Key: A Minor ♫ Verse: Am She's only 17, her whole life's ahead of her F She hates school because the people there discredit her C Her boyfriend tries to show her that's not how it seems G But every day she just gets lowered with her self esteem Am He lets her know that every night will have a brighter day F She even tried to overdose and take her life away C She's feeling hopeless there just sitting down beside her bed G And then he takes his hand and places it beside her head Am He tries to hold her, but with every touch she still resists F And then he sees the scars that bury deep within her wrists C She's feeling numb, he starts to beg and plead and ask her why G She says this way she has control of pain she feels inside

Am He's asking her, "How long it's going since you've felt this way? F Because you've got me here just feeling so damn helpless" C She says, "It's been a while; I guess I needed better luck G And then he screams at her and tells her, "Baby, never cut!" ♫ Chorus: Am Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own F But listen, pretty lady, you don't have to be alone C So baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut G You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut Am I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end F You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend C But baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut G You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut ♫ Verse: Am The next day at school she's feeling better than the day before F Even cracked a couple smiles as she walked the corridor C But all that seemed to end, she dropped her books as she went into class G And every student in the room just seemed to point and laugh Am She couldn't take it anymore, she sent her boy a text F She said, "I love you with my body, heart and soul to death" C He thought nothing, typed "I love you"; then he sent it G By death he didn't know that she had literally just meant it Am She ducked the next class, ran home into her bathroom F Thought to herself she wouldn't break her promise that soon C One cut . two cuts . three cuts . four G The blood just started dripping from the tub to the floor Am Her boyfriend had a feeling in his stomach that he hated F He followed it and ran down to her house, he never waited C The front door was open, he heard the water running G He stormed into the bathroom, and his heart just started gunning ♫ Chorus: Am Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own F But listen, pretty lady, you don't have to be alone C So baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut G You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut Am I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end F You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend C But baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut G You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut ♫ Verse: Am He puts her arm around his shoulder, he's trying to lean her back up F Yelling out her name as he lays her beside the bathtub C He feels his whole world just took a hit from a big avalanche G Screaming out so heavily, "Somebody call an ambulance!" Am Feeling mad angry, like somebody's led her on to this F Her eyeballs are rolling, drifting out of consciousness C Thinking to himself "Why the hell didn't she stop at will " G The tears just keep on rolling as they head to the hospital Am Paramedics rush her in, doctor calls emergency F She's lost a lot of blood, the place looks like a murder scene C An hour later, the doc walks over with a sour face G And says, "Excuse me for the words that I'm about to say Am I'm sorry for your loss," the boy just starts collapsing F His own world, his own girl just took a crashing C Saying to himself that it's his fault and that he let it up G Baby, I thought you promised you would never cut . ♫ Chorus: Am Nobody seems to get you, you feel you're on your own F But listen, pretty lady, you don't have to be alone C So baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut G You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut Am I know your heart is hurting, you think the road has end F You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only friend C But baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut G You can do anything, just promise, baby, you won't cut
