She always said the world was over rated,

And she couldn't take the drama it created.
D MajorD
And it's a wonder she didn't wind up jaded,
A augmentedA
For all the times she'd been let down.
A augmentedA
Well mom and dad split up when she was four years old,
BB
And let the world that she knew start spinning out of control.
D MajorD
She grew up feeling a hole in her soul.
D MajorD
'cause the was never around. She said;

And when I couldn't out run all the things that I've done,
D MajorD
I picked up the phone and my dad said son.
