Intro:

I took in the most that I could

I never imagined that I would

Be feeling so misunderstood

I'm just following lines

You race in my mind like a car

You've beaten my heart so damn farther

And now I've been pacing the wall

Cause you're under my hood

Never thought I could

Love you no never

Never thought that I would

G F#

Ever try to be anything better

G D

My heart's beating better alone

And if it is broke

Bm A

Why let you know

G D

This heart's not your skipping stone

If I'm sinking water

Bm A

Then why even bother

G A

Just leave it alone, Mmmm

This heart's not your skipping stone

So maybe I should settle down

And find a new man let him

Throw my world around

All his blueberry lies

I know there isn't a rule

Was left in the dust never

Was taught in school

Mmmm now I'm a lovesick fool

Never knew that you

Could just hold me hostage

I'm losing my cool

Through the pain somehow

Don't want you to stop it

G D

My heart's beating better alone

And if it is broke

Bm A

Why let you know

G D

This heart's not your skipping stone

If I'm sinking water

Bm A

Then why even bother

G A

Just leave it alone, Mmmm

This heart's not your skipping stone

All the time

I never let you in

Was a lie

I wasn't letting you win

And all the days

You let me cry

Was a lie

G D

My heart's beating better alone

And if it is broke

Bm A

Why let you know

G D

This heart's not your skipping stone

If I'm sinking water

Bm A

Then why even bother

G D

Just leave it alone

And if it is broke

Bm A

Why let you know

G D

This heart's not your skipping stone

If I'm sinking water

Bm A

Then why even bother

G A

Just leave me alone

This heart's not your skipping stone

End on
