Intro:   E


E
  I took in the most that I could
                           C#m
  I never imagined that I would
                              A
  Be feeling so misunderstood
                      E
  I'm just following lines
 
  You race in my mind like a car
                                     C#m
  You've beaten my heart so damn farther
                                    A
  And now I've been pacing the wall

                         F#m
  Cause you're under my hood
          B
  Never thought I could

  Love you no never
          F#m
  Never thought that I would
        A        G#
  Ever try to be anything better

 
      A                       E
  My heart's beating better alone
      F#m 
  And if it is broke
   C#m           B
  Why let you know
        A                           E
  This heart's not your skipping stone
      F#m
  If I'm sinking water
       C#m        B
  Then why even bother
        A                B
  Just leave it alone, Mmmm
                                  C#m        
  This heart's not your skipping stone

 

  So maybe I should settle down
                           C#m
  And find a new man  let him 
                        A
  Throw my world around
                     E
  All his blueberry lies

  I know there isn't a rule
                         C#m
  Was left in the dust never
                        A
  Was taught in school

                            F#m
  Mmmm now  I'm a lovesick fool
         B
  Never knew that you

  Could just hold me hostage
                 F#m
  I'm losing my cool
               A
  Through the pain somehow
         G#
  Don't want you to stop it

 

      A                       E
  My heart's beating better alone
      F#m 
  And if it is broke
   C#m           B
  Why let you know
        A                           E
  This heart's not your skipping stone
      F#m
  If I'm sinking water
       C#m        B
  Then why even bother
        A                B
  Just leave it alone, Mmmm
                                  C#m        
  This heart's not your skipping stone

 
           A
  All the time
                  E
  I never let you in
         B
  Was a lie
                       C#m        
  I wasn't letting you win
               A
  And all the days
              E
  You let me cry
         B
  Was a lie
 

      A                       E
  My heart's beating better alone
      F#m 
  And if it is broke
   C#m           B
  Why let you know
        A                           E
  This heart's not your skipping stone
      F#m
  If I'm sinking water
       C#m        B
  Then why even bother
        A                E
  Just leave it alone 
        F#m 
  And if it is broke
   C#m           B
  Why let you know
        A                           E
  This heart's not your skipping stone
      F#m
  If I'm sinking water
       C#m        B
  Then why even bother
        A                B
  Just leave it alone, Mmmm
                                  C#m        
  This heart's not your skipping stone
