B G#m F# G#m
BI used to know this gG#mirl
Who gave her love aF#way
To every guy she G#mmet
And with all those games they pBlayed
She never seemed to G#mcry
She never got uF#pset
And one by one they G#mcame
And one by one they lBeft
I thought that I could G#mfix her
If she would let me Bin
But all of my G#madvances
Were shut down in the Bend
When days turned into mG#months
I begged her to eF#xplain
G#mAnd this is what she sang
BIt's not like I'm a slut
Or that I rG#meally like to fuck
I just want eBvery boy I see
To walk G#maway with part of me
Until there's nBothing left to hold
Until there's G#mnothing left to hate
I aBppreciate your help
But even G#myou can't save me from myself
B G#m F# G#m
BI used to know this G#mboy
Who took notes in a F#mbook
But he ripped out all the G#mpages
Before I got a Blook
At all the words he G#mscribbled
At all the lines he Bfilled
But the ink stains on his fG#mingers
Told me he was sBkilled
At capturing a G#mfeeling
That most of us just F#miss
The simple pain of lG#miving
With goodbyes on our Blips
I found one of the G#mpages
Crumpled by her F#bed
G#mAnd this is how it read
BIt's not like I am weak
Or that I G#mdon't know how to leave
It's just that eBvery time you cheat
You bring me cG#mloser to defeat
Until there's nBothing left to love
Until there's G#mnothing left to say
BI know that you need help
But even G#mI can't save you from yourself

B G#m

I used to know this girl

Who gave her love away

G#m

To every guy she met

And with all those games they played

G#m

She never seemed to cry

She never got upset

G#m

And one by one they came

And one by one they left

G#m

I thought that I could fix her

If she would let me in

G#m

But all of my advances

Were shut down in the end

G#m

When days turned into months

I begged her to explain

G#m

And this is what she sang

It's not like I'm a slut

G#m

Or that I really like to fuck

I just want every boy I see

G#m

To walk away with part of me

Until there's nothing left to hold

G#m

Until there's nothing left to hate

I appreciate your help

G#m

But even you can't save me from myself

I used to know this boy

F#m

Who took notes in a book

G#m

But he ripped out all the pages

Before I got a look

G#m

At all the words he scribbled

At all the lines he filled

G#m

But the ink stains on his fingers

Told me he was skilled

G#m

At capturing a feeling

That most of us just miss

G#m

The simple pain of living

With goodbyes on our lips

G#m

I found one of the pages

Crumpled by her bed

G#m

And this is how it read

It's not like I am weak

G#m

Or that I don't know how to leave

It's just that every time you cheat

G#m

You bring me closer to defeat

Until there's nothing left to love

G#m

Until there's nothing left to say

I know that you need help

G#m

But even I can't save you from yourself
