(Verse)
B                               Bb
She packed her bags and she ran away
                   E
Heading off to California
                      F#
Their summer?s in the sun 

Are always better out there 
B                                     Bb
Little girl with the dream inside her heart
                             E
Is popping pills despite the artistry
                       F#
They make believe that someday she?ll be happy

(Pre-chorus)
Eb                        E
And I do not think you?re ready
Eb
Your mind is much 
E
Much too young
Eb                E
Your heart is a machete
Eb                        E    (mute)
And it?s cutting straight through

(Chorus)
                     B
Cuz I wanted this so bad
                       Bb
and I tried to make it last
                       E
and I tried to hold on tightly

It wasn?t hard
    F#                                        B
You played the part don?t you go giving up on me
                       Bb 
and I tried to take it back
                       E
And I tried to hold on tightly
      F#
No it wasn?t hard

It wasn?t hard 
(back to verse chords)
Giving up on me
Giving up on me
Giving up on me
No it wasn?t hard

(Verse)
She tied her arm just to find the vein
Circumstances left her lonely 
She?s got nothing to hold
Except for what she thinks now
About the prices that you pay
For having the heart that dreams of the days 
When we will finally find ourselves

(Pre-chorus)
And I do not think you?re ready
Your mind is much 
Much too young
Your heart is a machete
And it?s cutting straight through

(Bridge)
For you cuz
You don?t understand 
What I mean 
When I am all I have
In the end 
We just are what we are
Just know one thing

(Chorus)
Cuz I wanted this so bad
And I tried to make it last
And I tried to hold on tightly
It wasn?t hard
You played the part don?t you go giving up on me
And I tried to take it back
And I tried to hold on tightly
No it wasn?t hard
It wasn?t hard 
Giving up on me
Giving up on me
Giving up on me
No it wasn?t hard
