Verse 1:
F minorFm       G#G# D#D#     F minorFm
Well I turned 13 seven years ago
                 G#G#   D#D#   F minorFm
That was the first time I felt I didn't have a home
F minorFm           G#G#
'Cause razor blades and pairs of scissors
D#D#        F minorFm
strung out on my desk
F minorFm     G#G#      D#D#        F minorFm
And when I told you you put them in the closet
F minorFm    G#G#    D#D#       F minorFm
Next to a notebook where I would pour my love
F minorFm      G#G#         D#D#    F minorFm
You took it away from me but I didn't give it up
F minorFm         G#G#         D#D#       F minorFm
And now I wish that I could read those love letters I wrote
F minorFm        G#G#          D#D#       G#G#
Her handwriting was atrocious but it made me comfortable

Chorus:
F minorFm     C#C#        G#G#
And I spent three years just holding on for dear life
F minorFm     C#C#        G#G#
I spent the next three after that just trying to make this life mine
G#G#         D#D#        F minorFm      D#D#
I started smoking cigarettes and I started doing drugs
F minorFm     D#D#          C#C#       C minorCm     F minorFm
I would do anything to fill the hole that once housed your love

Verse 2:
F minorFm         G#G#         D#D#        F minorFm
And then I went to college and things started getting worse
F minorFm     G#G#      D#D#        F minorFm
I cut off contact and I started drinking more
F minorFm             G#G#        D#D#          F minorFm
And I think it helped for a little while Christine would help me through the
pain
F minorFm      G#G#      D#D#         F minorFm
But then I'd wake up so hungover and full of hate
F minorFm            G#G#       D#D#           F minorFm
And my dad thinks I don't like him and I can't say that's not true
F minorFm      G#G#         D#D#                    F minorFm
'Cause after everything that's happened it's getting harder to forgive you
    G#G#      D#D#          F minorFm           D#D#
And my sisters are moving far away, I think they're trying to keep their

distance
G#G#    D#D#      F minorFm            G#G#
They've been warned what I might say by my parents

Chorus:
F minorFm     C#C#      G#G#
And I spent three years just holding on for dear life
F minorFm     C#C#        G#G#
I spent the next three after that just trying to make this life mine
G#G#         D#D#        C#C#       F minorFm
I started smoking cigarettes and I started doing drugs
F minorFm     D#D#          C#C#       C minorCm     F minorFm
I would do anything to fill the hole that once housed your love

Chorus 2:
F minorFm     C#C#    D#D#     G#G#
And I know you know all about Victoria
F minorFm     C#C#    D#D#        G#G#
And I know you know everything I was keeping secret
C#C#       F minorFm        D#D#         G#G#
Underneath the surface it's much more than what it seems
  F minorFm         C#C#      C minorCm       D#D#
Dad that's the saddest smile that I think I've ever seen

Bridge:
      C#C#
And now I'm disconnected with everyone I love
      G#G#
I started playing it off like I was cooler and tough
     D#D#
I started rolling with the wrong crowd doing drugs
     F minorFm
I started hating myself instead of picking you up

    C#C#
And now I am pushing away everyone that I love
     G#G#
I started telling myself that I was more than enough
     D#D#
I started rolling with the wrong crowd killing cops
     F minorFm
I started hating myself instead of falling in love

      C#C#
And now I'm disconnected with everyone I love
     G#G#
I started playing it off like I was cooler and tough
     D#D#
I started rolling with the wrong crowd doing drugs
     F minorFm
I started hating myself instead of picking you up

    C#C#
And now I am pushing away everyone that I love
     G#G#
I started telling myself that I was more than enough
     D#D#
I started rolling with the wrong crowd killing cops
     F minorFm                 C minorCm
I started hating myself instead of falling in love

Chorus 2:
F minorFm     C#C#    D#D#     G#G#
And I know you know all about Victoria
F minorFm     C#C#    D#D#        G#G#
And I know you know everything I was keeping secret
C#C#       F minorFm        D#D#         G#G#
Underneath the surface it's much more than what it seems
  F minorFm         C#C#      C minorCm       D#D#
Dad that's the saddest smile that I think I've ever seen


F minorFm     C#C#    D#D#     G#G#
And I know you know all about Victoria
F minorFm     C#C#    D#D#        G#G#
And I know you know everything I was keeping secret
C#C#       F minorFm        D#D#         G#G#
Underneath the surface it's much more than what it seems
  F minorFm         C#C#      C minorCm       D#D#
Dad that's the saddest smile that I think I've ever seen
