[Verse 1]
     B                          Em
You seem like you’re having fun
          B                        Em
And this world it can’t hurt no one
             E
But there’s wonder
                  F#
behind those eyes
          B                        Em
When you seem like your acting fine
       B                          Em
But tonight you’re the chosen one
               B
Letting those wildest
                 Em
young horses run
             E
Letting the wind blow
through broken glass
 F#        B
Washing ashore with no
life in the raft

[Chorus]
G#m
 Hey there little sad girl
E
 I really want to hold you
B
 Your heart is like time bomb
E
 And it’s going to start to kill you
G#m
 But in such a very sad world
E
 There are still things to discover
B
 It’s possible to hang on
E
 'Cause your story isn’t over

[Verse 2]
           B
You are an accident
                  Em
waiting to happen
   B
Revenge doesn’t work
                  Em
if we’re laughing
         E
There’s danger so close
to that edge
  F#        B
Prettiest thing left here
laid on the bed
