[Verse 1]
[C]I[G][C][G]
[C]use[G]d t[C]o k[G]now this
[C]girl
Who [Em]gave her [G]love away
To every guy she [C]met
And with all the [G]games they played
She never seemed [C]to cry
She [Em]never got up[G]set
And one by one [C]they came
And one by [Em]one t[G]hey left
I thought that I could [C]fix her
If she would [G]let me in
But all of my ad[C]vances
Were shut down [G]in the end
When days turned into [C]months
I [Em]begged her [G]to explain
And [C]this is what [G]she sang

[Verse 2]
It's [G]not like I'm a slut
Or that I [C]really like to fuck
I just want [G]every boy I see
To walk [C]away with part of me
Until there's [G]nothing left to hold
Until there's [C]nothing left to hate
[G]I appreciate your help
But [D]even [C]you can't save me from
my[G]self

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][Em]
[G]

[Verse 3]
I used to know this [C]boy
[Em]Who took notes in a [G]book
But he ripped out all the [C]pages
Before I [Em]got a[G] look
At all the words [C]he scribbled
At all the [Em]lines [G]he filled
But the ink stains on his fin[C]gers
Told me he was [G]skilled
At capturing a feel[C]ing
That most of [G]us just miss
The simple pain of liv[C]ing
With goodbyes [Em]on o[G]ur lips
I found one of the [C]pages
[Em]Crumpled [G]by her bed
And [C]this is how it read
[Em]It's

[Verse 4]
[G]not like I am weak
Or that I [C]don't know how to leave
It's just that [G]every time you cheat
You bring me [C]closer to defeat

[Verse 5]
Until there's [G]nothing left to love
Until there's [C]nothing left [G]to say
I know that you need help
But [D]even [C]I can't save you from yourself
