D (strum once)     Em
See it from the outside
G
Running toward the wall
Em
Seeing from your blinds eye
G
But you don't know me at all
Em
I've been here
    G
Too many times before
Am                          C
And your tears don't mean a thing
       Am            C
I only come when you scream

I told you

(Chorus)
Em          G         D
Child don't follow me home
                Em      G               D
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
Em     G
If you choose to stay
       D        Em
You'll throw it all away
    C              D
And I just want to take your innocence

D (strum once)          Em
Is this what you wanted
      G
Did I make your dreams come true
Em
Your sitting in a corner
G
Wondering what you got into
Em
You ache for things
G                   
You don't understand
Am                                 C
That your tears don't mean a thing
           Am             D
And I only come when you scream

I told you

Em          G         D
Child don't follow me home
                Em      G               D
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
Em      G
If you choose to stay
       D        Em
You'll throw it all away
    C              D
And I just want to take your innocence

Am
There's no such thing as fate
C
Only yourself to blame
D
You never walked away

I told you


Em          G         D
Child don't follow me home
                Em      G               D
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
Em      G
If you choose to stay
       D        Em
You'll throw it all away
    C              D
And I just want to take your innocence


Em          G         D
Child don't follow me home
                Em      G               D
You're just too perfect for my hands to hold
Em      G
If you choose to stay
       D        Em
You'll throw it all away
    C              D
And I just want to take your innocence
    C              D
And I just want to take your innocence
C               D
I just want to take
