C                                           Em           D
  Threw a mattress on the floor and made a home out of a dorm room
            C                                    Em           D
She got a credit card in her name to buy what she couldn't afford to
                C                              Em
And now she's eighteen, she can barely eat and barely drive

Mind racing, what's the meanin' of being alive?
C                                             Em           D

So much for the young and free

You'll always be a part of me

Swear I'll take better care of you

Rubbing drugs into your gums to prove to your friends

That you're a good time, 'til you're crying in the stairwell
C                                                         Em

Can't forget the way it felt

♫ Interlude:
C   Em    D

♫ Bridge:
                     D
You drank yourself dizzy
                   C
Held in all your secrets
                                              Em
Took off running naked with a handle in your arms
               D
Woke up in a fever
                         C
Sweating out your bad decisions
                                                    Em
Couldn't even see straight but you still got in the car
                D
Tried to be a cool girl
                       C
You know the way that boys are
                                                   Em
You just want to talk, but it's your body that he counts
                     D
It's snowing up in Amherst
                  C
You don't feel a damn thing
                                                  Em   D   C   Em   D
Everything's a mess when you got nothing figured out

♫ Outro:
                  C
You'll always be a part of me
               Em                       D
Swear I'll take better care of you
                  C
I'm sorry that it hurt so much
 Em              D      C
Growing up is hard
