BB G# minorG#m F#F# G# minorG#m
BB G# minorG#m
I used to know this girl
F#F#
Who gave her love away
G# minorG#m
To every guy she met
BB
And with all those games they played
G# minorG#m
She never seemed to cry
F#F#
She never got upset
G# minorG#m
And one by one they came
BB
And one by one they left
G# minorG#m
I thought that I could fix her
BB
If she would let me in
G# minorG#m
But all of my advances
BB
Were shut down in the end
G# minorG#m
When days turned into months
F#F#
I begged her to explain
G# minorG#m
And this is what she sang
BB
It's not like I'm a slut
G# minorG#m
Or that I really like to fuck
BB
I just want every boy I see
G# minorG#m
To walk away with part of me
BB
Until there's nothing left to hold
G# minorG#m
Until there's nothing left to hate
BB
I appreciate your help
G# minorG#m
But even you can't save me from myself
BB G# minorG#m F#F# G# minorG#m
BB G# minorG#m
I used to know this boy
F# minorF#m
Who took notes in a book
G# minorG#m
But he ripped out all the pages
BB
Before I got a look
G# minorG#m
At all the words he scribbled
BB
At all the lines he filled
G# minorG#m
But the ink stains on his fingers
BB
Told me he was skilled
G# minorG#m
At capturing a feeling
F#F#
That most of us just miss
G# minorG#m
The simple pain of living
BB
With goodbyes on our lips
G# minorG#m
I found one of the pages
F#F#
Crumpled by her bed
G# minorG#m
And this is how it read
BB
It's not like I am weak
G# minorG#m
Or that I don't know how to leave
BB
It's just that every time you cheat
G# minorG#m
You bring me closer to defeat
BB
Until there's nothing left to love
G# minorG#m
Until there's nothing left to say
BB
I know that you need help
G# minorG#m
But even I can't save you from yourself
