CmHere I go, I'm gonna start an anthem
D#For all my girls who went and blew their chances
BbAnd now they suck on a cigaCmrette
I was bored, I got a little distracted
D#To add it up, I got a little subtracted from you
BbNow this bottle layCms empty on the carpet where you slept
G#mGonna cry from the botD#tom of my heart
BbI never thought, never thought
CmIt'd bBbe so hG#mard
I'm freaking out, D#but I don't really care
You're some plGace else and I don't care
D#'Cause I believe G#min butterflies
D#I believe G#mI told some lieD#s
I'm hoG#mlding on to all I had
CmI'm saying I'm sorrBby boy, I was bad,
D#So kiss me on the G#mtip of my naked eye 
D#Don't reaG#mlly wanna, reallD#y wanna say goodbye
I'll gG#mo to hell some other day
CmTrust me, baby, it'Bbll be okay,
Cm
CmMy thumb was on your head
I felt like a goddess
D#But the truth is I was so fucking heartless
BbAnd you, you call me on Cmall I do
What have I done?
Cm (cont.)
Gonna bash my head against the mirror
D#Close my eyes and cut all my hair off
It's tBbrue
Maybe you'll uCmnderstand just what I'm
D#Going through
G#mGonna sing at the top D#of my sweet lungs,
BbCome back, come back to wCmhere yBbou bG#melong,
I'm freaking out, D#but I don't really care
You're some plGace else and I don't care
D#'Cause I believe G#min butterflies
D#I believe G#mI told some lieD#s
I'm hoG#mlding on to all I had
