No capo
Verse 1:
Fm G# D# Fm
Well I turned 13 seven years ago
G# D# Fm
That was the first time I felt I didn't have a home
Fm G#
'Cause razor blades and pairs of scissors
D# Fm
strung out on my desk
Fm G# D# Fm
And when I told you you put them in the closet
Fm G# D# Fm
Next to a notebook where I would pour my love
Fm G# D# Fm
You took it away from me but I didn't give it up
Fm G# D# Fm
And now I wish that I could read those love letters I wrote
Fm G# D# G#
Her handwriting was atrocious but it made me comfortable
Chorus:
Fm C# G#
And I spent three years just holding on for dear life
Fm C# G#
I spent the next three after that just trying to make this life mine
G# D# Fm D#
I started smoking cigarettes and I started doing drugs
Fm D# C# Cm Fm
I would do anything to fill the hole that once housed your love
Verse 2:
Fm G# D# Fm
And then I went to college and things started getting worse
Fm G# D# Fm
I cut off contact and I started drinking more
Fm G# D# Fm
And I think it helped for a little while Christine would help me through the
pain
Fm G# D# Fm
But then I'd wake up so hungover and full of hate
Fm G# D# Fm
And my dad thinks I don't like him and I can't say that's not true
Fm G# D# Fm
'Cause after everything that's happened it's getting harder to forgive you
G# D# Fm D#
And my sisters are moving far away, I think they're trying to keep their
distance
G# D# Fm G#
They've been warned what I might say by my parents
Chorus:
Fm C# G#
And I spent three years just holding on for dear life
Fm C# G#
I spent the next three after that just trying to make this life mine
G# D# C# Fm
I started smoking cigarettes and I started doing drugs
Fm D# C# Cm Fm
I would do anything to fill the hole that once housed your love
Chorus 2:
Fm C# D# G#
And I know you know all about Victoria
Fm C# D# G#
And I know you know everything I was keeping secret
C# Fm D# G#
Underneath the surface it's much more than what it seems
Fm C# Cm D#
Dad that's the saddest smile that I think I've ever seen
Bridge:
C#
And now I'm disconnected with everyone I love
G#
I started playing it off like I was cooler and tough
D#
I started rolling with the wrong crowd doing drugs
Fm
I started hating myself instead of picking you up
C#
And now I am pushing away everyone that I love
G#
I started telling myself that I was more than enough
D#
I started rolling with the wrong crowd killing cops
Fm
I started hating myself instead of falling in love
C#
And now I'm disconnected with everyone I love
G#
I started playing it off like I was cooler and tough
D#
I started rolling with the wrong crowd doing drugs
Fm
I started hating myself instead of picking you up
C#
And now I am pushing away everyone that I love
G#
I started telling myself that I was more than enough
D#
I started rolling with the wrong crowd killing cops
Fm Cm
I started hating myself instead of falling in love
Chorus 2:
Fm C# D# G#
And I know you know all about Victoria
Fm C# D# G#
And I know you know everything I was keeping secret
C# Fm D# G#
Underneath the surface it's much more than what it seems
Fm C# Cm D#
Dad that's the saddest smile that I think I've ever seen
Fm C# D# G#
And I know you know all about Victoria
Fm C# D# G#
And I know you know everything I was keeping secret
C# Fm D# G#
Underneath the surface it's much more than what it seems
Fm C# Cm D#
Dad that's the saddest smile that I think I've ever seen Published:
