Verse 1:
    Em                  C
The first time I felt heartache, I was 12,
G         D
 I did my best to hide it well,
Em            C                 G   D
 It broke me but I'd never tell,
    Em                  C
'Cause parents always seem so big and tough,
G               D
 I watched mine fall right out of love,
Em                C                   G   D
 Guess sometimes it's just not enough,

Pre-Chorus:
       C
It's a different house, different day,
G
Seeing the car pulling away,
D                             Em - D
Feeling the tears run down my face,
C
Holding my mother, trying to smile,
G                                 D
Telling my father bye for a while,
D                 N.C.
Then they told me,

Chorus:
                Em                    C
We know it hurts and we feel the pain,
                   G                         D
We've heard you ask, but you're not to blame,
                      Em                           C
When you go to school, they won't change your name,
                  G                          D
So don't you worry what all the children say,
          Em         C
Though it breaks our hearts,
            G                D
Know we'll never be worlds apart,
                Em                     C
It'll be alright, even though you doubt it,
             G                     D           Em
We're still a family, just living in different houses,

Verse 2:
Em                C
Heartache shows itself in many ways,
G           D
 My brother let his out in rage,
Em         C                 G   D
 My sister never said a word,

Pre-Chorus:
       C
It's a different house, different day,
G
Seeing the car pulling away,
D                     Em - D
I'm back on the other side,
C
Holding my father, trying to smile,
G                           D
Telling my mother bye for a while,
D                 N.C.
Then they told me,

Chorus:
                Em                    C
We know it hurts and we feel the pain,
                   G                         D

When you go to school, they won't change your name,
                  G                          D
