             G*              Em7              Cadd9       G  G  
And you said that maybe I could maybe try to get better
G*              Em7              Cadd9        G  G  
But when I'm sad I only seem to get thinner
G*                Em7             Cadd9      G  G  
My mother says stand up for yourself girl
G*                            Em7            Cadd9       G  G  
But I know I'll be there at your every beck and call
G*                        Em7               Cadd9      G  G  
And jealousy will kill me if I don't get there first

Cause it's the little things, the very little things that stay, stay and hurt

And I'm stuttering, I'm stuttering, tryna find some words
        G*                 Em7        Cadd9  G  
You say you idiot, you're not making any sense
    G*                Em7                 Cadd9  G  
You say speak your mind, speak your mind and maybe I'll understand
G*                      Em7           Cadd9      G  G  
But you never will and you never fucking have
G*               Em7                    Cadd9  G  
      And maybe I'm scared cause I'm still sick
   G*             Em7                  Cadd9  G  
So when you steal my pride please take it quick
G*              Em7         Cadd9  G  
Cause I'm so terrified of this pain
G*                          Em7                 Cadd9  G  
But at least my friend I'm not stuck down Maggie's Lane
  GG*   Em7    Cadd9   G  
G*                   Em7        Cadd9  G  
 So it's for my mum and for my dad that I write this song
G*             Em7            Cadd9  G  
And I promise them that I'll get better
G*                            Em7                       Cadd9  G

G*                               Em7               Cadd9  G  
It's just this beds not mine and my feet come off the end

G*                     Em7                Cadd9  G  
 And this tiny town is so huge to where I've lived
G*                                Em7                Cadd9  G  
And they gave me those letters and I have not read them since
G*                             Em7          Cadd9  G  
And I'll wear your shirt till you rip it from my skin
