[Intro]

A E D

[Verse 1]

Sweetie will you come home

We're tracking your car

Who are you with? What are you on?

Pick up the phone

When I was young

My problems were her problems

Now, I don't wanna 'cause trouble at all

I don't want the call

[Pre-Chorus]

Saying, "We're worried about you, we're worried about you"

Don't worry about me, just worry about you

[Chorus]

A E

So don't tell my mom, I'm fallin' apart

D D

She hurts when I hurt, my scars are her scars

A E

She'll talk to her friends, impress all of them

D D

At least in her mind, her daughter is fine

A E D D

Oh, please don't let her hear, I'm dyin' inside

A E D

'Cause she's dealt with this for years

N.C.

I got it this time

[Verse 2]

I'll wait 'til I'm home

E D

Cry in the shower, for two to three hours

'Til the tears are gone

Then pick up the phone

Now when we speak

I lie and said I slept for 8 hours all 7 nights of the week

She'll get to sleep

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't worry about me, just worry about you
