Am
[Verse 1]
AmSchool starts up again in about a week
EmPicked up my books from the library
C EmHead full with romance and fantasy
GCould it be me?
AmCaught eyes of one of the older guys
EmAin't that the dream? Yeah I'm told it's nice
C EmIt might be love if I play it right
GAnd I can think of
[Pre-Chorus]
Am15 reasons why he
EmWould wanna get to know me
C Em GBut daddy said "There's only one"
AmAnd it's hard times in times like these
EmI want someone I can please
C EmJust let me make believe
GI'll give him everything
[Chorus]
AmAnd I did
EmAnd he wasn't even grateful
CAlways treated me like a goddamn plateful
Em GHe's un-phased making me unstable
AmI took off all of my clothes
EmI cried the whole way home
CStill smiled at my mother
Em GWhat she don't know won't hurt her
AmHe showed me love led to damage
EmHow can everybody stand it?
CHe brought me to my knees
Em GIt's hard times in times like these
[Verse 2]
AmI live alone in a haunted house
EmI turned the mirrors all around
C EmCan't stand to face what he made me now
GAnd what's no longer
AmTurned my wide eyes to bloody tears
EmMissed out on Christmas and family cheer
C EmI can't recall my birthday that year
GBut I remember
[Pre-Chorus]
Am15 ways I said "No"
EmAsked him to let me go
CI know it's all his fault
Em GWhy Do I feel so wrong?
AmIt's hard times in times like these
EmI wake choking on my screams
CThen I tuck them in the drawer
Em GHe coulda taken more than
[Chorus]
AmHe did
AmSo I outta be grateful
EmWouldn't ever think about it if I were able
CHe's unscathed while I'm unstable
EmFlipping all these goddamn tables
GHopeless cause he'll never know his own betrayals
AmI threw up on my way home
EmLeft my shoes on his road
CStill smiled at my mother
Em GWhat she don't know won't hurt her
AmHeld my girlhood door, he slammed it
EmTook years to understand it
CStill brings me to my knees
Em GIt's hard times in times like these
[Instrumental]
Am Em C Em G
Am Em C Em G
[Bridge]
AmHe's picking fights and locks and forget me nots
EmAnd I'm counting to ten in a parking lot
CI left myself in a lost and found box
Em GMaybe in the summer I can brush the dust off
AmTicking slows, a ghost?
EmHe said "This is how it goes"
CAll I ever wanted was the prove I'm worthy
EmSuch a high price for the way he hurt me
AmCouldn't ever understand
Em really that pretty when I'm deadpanned?
CI curse your name when my lovers reach out
GThere's one thing I can't talk about
AmIt hurts again, can't call my friends
EmThey rolled their eyes, said I shoulda known better
CI can't live like this forever
GI can't live like this forever
AmGaslight myself under circumstance
Em"Did I make it all up? Was it really that bad?"
CI can't live like this forever
GI can't live like this forever
[Outro]
AmI can't live like this forever
EmI can't live like this forever
CI can't live like this forever
GI can't live like this forever
AmI can't live like this forever
EmI can't live like this forever
CI can't live like this forever
GI can't live like this forever
AmI can't live like this forever
EmI can't live like this forever
