Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]She's younger than
she [F]looks
But she's old enough to [C]know
The nature of [Em]this [G]world[Em]
And so [G]the story [Am]goes

[Verse 2]
She's [Am]dressed up like
her [F]friends
But she's prettier than [C]them
The whole room turns to [G]look[Em]
Like something from [G]a b[Dsus4]ook
[Dsus2][G][F]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
Then speech becomes [F]a slur
She's talking to some
[C]creep
Uncomfortable [Em]as hell
But too polite to [Am]leave

[Verse 4]
Then [Am]lines begin to [F]blur
There's something in her [C]drink
She stumbles to his [Em]car[E]
And no one says a thing
[F]

[Verse 5]
[C]Oh, my love,
you're so [Gm]young
[Dm]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Some might say she's able to
get [F]back her normal life
When [C]you love someone unwillingly
You [Em]leave yourself behind
You're [Am]hiding in the bathroom
And you [F]pray for better times
[C]Say you're gonna leave him there
And [Em]find a [Esus4]better li[E]fe[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Down the rabbit [F]hole
She wakes up in his [C]bed
Confused about her [Em]heart
And bruised between the leg[Am]s

[Verse 8]
But she's [Am]too afraid to [F]leave
Or bite the hand that hit[C]s
She tells herself it's [E]love
Then plays along with [F]it

[Verse 9]
[F]Oh, my [C]friend,
you're [Em]still [Gm]young
[Dm]

[Verse 10]
[Am]Some might say she's able to
get [F]back her normal life
When you [C]love someone unwillingly
You [Em]leave yourself behind
You're [Am]hiding in the bathroom
And you [F]pray for better times
[C]Say you're gonna leave him there
And [Em]find [Esus4]a better life[E]
[F][C]

[Verse 11]
[Gm]Run[Am][Em][Dm]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][F][C][Am]

[Verse 12]
[Am]Abused at seventeen
[F]Some unrelenting cre[C]ep
The father of her son
[G]

[Verse 13]
[Am]Some might say she's able to
get [F]back her normal life
When you [C]love someone unwillingly
You [Em]leave yourself behind
You're [Am]hiding in the bathroom
And [F]you pray for better times
[C]Say you're gonna leave him there
[Em]And find [Esus4]a better life[E]

[Verse 14]
[Am]Find [F]a better life
[Am]Find [D]a better life

[Outro 1]
[Dm]
[Am][F][Am][D][Am][D]
