Tone [G]
[C]You started life as double lines [G]Nobody planned for
[Em]Wiped all your mother's tears [D]Growing up too fast
[C]And all along you played a role [G]You never asked for
[Em]Feeling everybody's fears But [D]what choice did you have
Your [C]parents were fighting Your [G]younger brothers were crying
And you were [Em]soldiering, hiding In your [D]bedroom, trying
To [C]keep it locked up inside And you j[G]ust ignored all the sirens
If I [Em]could could go back in time I'd [D]try to write it all out
[C]Note to self [G]I know you had to get us [Em]through some hell
[D]You couldn't put a name to [C]what you felt
'Cause [G]you'd never hurt like that before
But [Em]you ain't alone anymore no [D]I got you now I got you now
[C]Losing love and all your friends [G]And a little bit of innocence
[Em]No one asked you anything [D]Just made you feel guilty
So [C]you tried to keep between the lines [G]From the backseat of your life
[Em]Couldn't control anything but the [D]size of your jeans
Even the p[C]raying and preaching It couldn't [G]fight off the demons
And you were [Em]silently screamingSomebody [D]listen to me
You didn't [C]know what you needed You wouldn't [G]show any weakness
If there was a [Em]way you could read it girl [D]I'd tell you now
[C]Note to self [G]I know you had to get us [Em]through some hell
[D]You couldn't put a name to [C]what you felt
'Cause [G]you'd never hurt like that before
But [Em]you ain't alone anymore [D]no
And all of the [C]screams that just stayed in your [G]head
All of the [Em]questions that scared you to [D]death
It was a [C]prison, and you got us [G]out
You can let [Em]go, girl, you can break [D]down
'Cause I got you [C]now [G]Yeah, I got you [Em]now, [D]oh I got you now
[C]Praying and preaching It couldn't[G] fight off the demons
[Em]Somebody [D]listen to me I got you now
[C]Note to self [G]Just know that it's okay to [Em]ask for help
You [D]don't gotta be afraid 'cause [C]I can tell you
[G]Life and people let you down
[Em]But where I'm standing here and now [D]It all works out
