[Intro]
N.C
 
(Hey, hey, hey)
 
[Verse 1]
E
 
And this is not the way that I had pictured this would go
A
Your hands are weak, I thought that they were strong
C#m
Your mouth tastes like the way I thought it'd taste
F#m
Like smoke
E
And your hair is really long, I like it really long
A
So I can lie to both my mom and dad
C#m
And say that I am younger than I am
F#m
E
And the doctors say I'm fine
A
But I will be a mom in nine more months
C#m
I'll never be a mom
F#m
I'll never be that strong
E
I'll always be this weak
A
At least, I think I'll be
 
 
She says
E
"I kicked, and cried, and screamed, until I couldn't breathe
A
I threw myself down stairs like twice a week
C#m
I think I bled until it was all gone"
F#m
 
[Chorus]
 
E
He said "Thank me when you're older
A
And I will write all of these songs for you
C#m
You can bury me in pieces
F#m
Underneath the floorboards in your room
E
And the story just gets darker
A
Screaming down hallways you always do
C#m
Saying, "Jesus, please forgive me
F#m
But I need this body more than you."
 
 
Singing
 
E
Woah, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
C#m
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m
(It's not all gone)
 
[Verse 2]
E
And I never said that did was easier than done
A
At dawn, my ribs are spilling out my back
C#m
My spine, my spine, is coming out my mouth
F#m
And I cannot breathe
 
E
And I will break, and break, and break, and break, and break again
A
I'll glue myself back up with all my friends
C#m
I'll lock myself inside of my room, writing songs like these
F#m
 
She says
E
"I kicked, and cried, and screamed, until I couldn't breathe
A
I threw myself down stairs like twice a week
C#m
I think I bled until it was all gone"
F#m
 
[Chorus]
 
E
He said "Thank me when you're older
A
And I will write all of these songs for you
C#m
You can bury me in pieces
F#m
Underneath the floorboards in your room
E
And the story just gets darker
A
Screaming down hallways you always do
C#m
Saying, "Jesus, please forgive me
F#m
But I need this body more than you."
E
Woah, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 
(My God)
A
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
C#m
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m
And it's not all gone
