Verse 1:

G            Bm          Em
You wouldn't mess with a child's mind
             Bm Am
You wouldn't be unkind
G          Bm           Em
Who are we fooling, anything's not fine
              Bm     Am
You shoved me out of line
C                     Em
Single file, down the aisle
D

You're the reason that they made this rule
C                       Em
To protect us from that smile
D
This pain is anything but mild



Pre-Chorus:
G                    Bm           Em
Cuz we're all not as strong as we pretend
        C
We only bend
G               Bm
To be broken in half
             Em
Don't try to laugh
C
'Cuz our suppression
              G
Only leads to depression

With a child's heart, oh
G                              Bm
You mold me like I'm just your work of art
       Em
What a great head-start
C                        G
You stole from a child's heart


G Bm Em   Em Bm Am


Verse 2:
G          Bm          Em
I wouldn't be somebody that I'm not
             Bm     Am
Don't put me in the box
G           Bm         Em
I'm holding on to everything I've got
             Bm     Am
Can't put me on the spot
C                      Em
You may think that I'm dramatic
D
Well, there's a reason that I feel this way
C                          Em
I'm still reeling from the static

'Cuz in your eyes it doesn't matter
