Baby Don't Cut chords by B Mike

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

♫ 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  .
