Intro:

E    E   C#m   B   A

Verse 1:
                E
Well, all my life
      E
I have been smothered
               C#m
By grandmas and grandpas
           B             A
Aunts and uncles, and my mother
              E
And all your life
          E
You have been fighting
            C#m            B             A
For just a moment of what I get every day

                 C#m                   B
'Cause you never knew love without condition
                A                               B
No one to fight for you or make you feel secure
                     C#m                  B
Now you're searching for a quick fix to a lifelong wound
    F#m              E                 B
But cancer can't be healed in a drug store

Chorus:
       E
You're runnin' around with open wounds
    G#m
Thinking that from pain you're immune
C#m             B                    A
Bleeding on the ones who try loving you
       E
You do everything you can to dismiss
       G#m
That little boy who always wished
   C#m           B               A
He had a father he could call his

Verse 2:
                 E
Well, all my life
                     G#m
I have hated people like you
             C#m
Who will never know
         B                 A
What it means to starve for love
              E
And all your life
                G#m
You have taken for granted
         c#m           B               A
A gift I may go all my years and never know
                 C#m                 G#m
'Cause you never knew begging for affection
             E Asus                                   B
You never had to prove that you were worthy of their time
                     C#m                     G#m
Now you're wondering why I can't accept your loving
            F#m              E             B
But I don't know what loving is without a fight

Chorus:
           E
Well, I'm running around, all scratched and bruised
 G#m
Repeating patterns of abuse
C#m               B                   A
Spreading hurt so they can feel pain, too, mmm
     E
I do everything I can to deny
      G#m
That little girl who always tried
   C#m                B                  A
To prove to them that she was worth their time

             E
Well, you're running round with open wounds
     G#m
Thinking that from pain you're immune
C#m             B                   F#m
Bleeding on the ones who try loving you, woah
      E
I do everything I can to deny
      B
That little girl who always tried
   C#m                B             A
To prove to them that she was worth their time
