Verse 1:
Bm
You could get hit by a car or train

Or get electrocuted in the rain

You could find a monster in your closet by your sneakers
               Em
You could find out the monster is actually your teacher
                 Bm
You could have a dad with a friend named Jack

But when Jack's around mommy gets slapped

And if you tell mommy that she deserves better
                G                             E
You'll have to cover up your bruises with a sweater


Pre-Chorus:
Bm
I know your heart is broken
G
Feels like your world's been stolen
D                               A
I promise that it could be worse (It could be worse)
Bm
I know you miss those kisses
G
There are so many fishes
D                               A
I promise that it could be worse (It could be worse)

Verse 2:
Bm
Could’ve been the baby in a carriage

With beautiful blue-eyed parents

If mommy said she never told a lie
Em
Why the fuck do you have big brown eyes?
Bm
You could break a hip, you could loose your teeth

You could swallow a spider in your sleep

You could find a razor in your peanut butter sandwich
            E
If you get cut, you can always get a bandage


Pre-Chorus:
Bm
I know your heart is broken

G
There are so many fishes
D                               A
I promise that it could be worse (It could be worse)
