Strum
D-DU-UDU
She  packed her bags and she ran away
 Heading off to California
 Their summer’s in the sun
 Are always better out there
Little  girl with the dream inside her heart
 Is popping pills despite the artistry
 They make believe that someday  she’ll be happy
 (Pre-chorus)
And  I do not think you’re ready
Your  mind is much
Much  too young
Your  heart is a machete
And  it’s cutting straight through
 (Chorus)
 Cuz I wanted this so bad
 and I tried to make it last
 and I tried to hold on tightly
 It wasn’t hard
 You played  the part don’t you go giving up on me
 and I tried to take it back
 And I tried to hold on tightly
 No it wasn’t  hard
 It wasn’t hard
 (back to verse chords)
 Giving up on me
 Giving up on me
 Giving up on me
 No it wasn’t hard
 (Verse)
 She tied her arm just to find the vein
 Circumstances left her lonely
 She’s got nothing to hold
 Except for what she thinks now
 About the prices that you pay
 For having the heart that dreams of the days
 When we will finally find ourselves
 (Pre-chorus)
 And I do not think you’re ready
 Your mind is much
 Much too young
 Your heart is a machete
 And it’s cutting straight through
 (Bridge)
 For you cuz
 You don’t understand
 What I mean
 When I am all I have
 In the end
 We just are what we are
 Just know one thing
 (Chorus)
 Cuz I wanted this so bad
 And I tried to make it last
 And I tried to hold on tightly
 It wasn’t hard
 You played the part don’t you go giving up on me
 And I tried to take it back
 And I tried to hold on tightly
 No it wasn’t hard
 It wasn’t hard
 Giving up on me
 Giving up on me
 Giving up on me
 No it wasn’t hard
