Not 100% but pretty close.      
I hope that no one finds Cyou pretty
I hope that no one takes you homFe
‘Cause while I’m sitting in the Gdark
It would be nice to know that you’re aloCneG  
I hope that no one hears you cryCing     
Or if they do, that they don’t cFare
‘Cause when you handed me my heartG  
I spent a week just talking to tChe airC7  
And when your heFart is brokenG  
You want the whoCle world to be bAmlue
FI just want to kGnow you’re hurting tooC  
I hope you feel a little homesicCk
I hope your mother doesn’t callF  
‘Cause the only thing I Ghave
To comfort me is hanging on the CwallG  
It’s my graduation pictuCre
Proves I can make it on my ownF  
But every other picture on the wGall
Is proof I hate to be alConeC7  
And when your heFart is brokenG  
You want the whoCle world to be blueAm  
FI just want to kGnow you’re hurting tooC  
A stairway to climb out of this Cpit
What use would that beF  
When all I want Gis you down here with meC  G  
I didn’t mean for you to hear thCis
But I’m kind of glad you Fdid
Instead of saying we’re just friGends
Let’s tear it open and call it wChat it iGs
It’s a knife right through my riCb cage
It’s a hammer to my headF  
It’s a miracle that I’m still stGanding up
When most of me is deadC  C7  
And when your heFart is brokenG  
You want the whoCle world to be bAmlue
FI just want to kGnow you’re hurting tooC

Not 100% but pretty close.

I hope that no one finds you pretty

I hope that no one takes you home

‘Cause while I’m sitting in the dark

C G

It would be nice to know that you’re alone

I hope that no one hears you crying

Or if they do, that they don’t care

‘Cause when you handed me my heart

C C7

I spent a week just talking to the air

F G

And when your heart is broken

C Am

You want the whole world to be blue

F G C

I just want to know you’re hurting too

I hope you feel a little homesick

I hope your mother doesn’t call

‘Cause the only thing I have

C G

To comfort me is hanging on the wall

It’s my graduation picture

Proves I can make it on my own

But every other picture on the wall

C C7

Is proof I hate to be alone

F G

And when your heart is broken

C Am

You want the whole world to be blue

F G C

I just want to know you’re hurting too

A stairway to climb out of this pit

What use would that be

G C G

When all I want is you down here with me

I didn’t mean for you to hear this

But I’m kind of glad you did

Instead of saying we’re just friends

C G

Let’s tear it open and call it what it is

It’s a knife right through my rib cage

It’s a hammer to my head

It’s a miracle that I’m still standing up

C C7

When most of me is dead

F G

And when your heart is broken

C Am

You want the whole world to be blue

F G C

I just want to know you’re hurting too
