Standard (EADGBE)

 I hope that no one finds you pretty

 I hope that no one takes you home

 ‘Cause while I’m sitting in the dark

 It would be nice to know that you’re alone

 I hope that no one hears you crying

 Or if they do, that they don’t care

 ‘Cause when you handed me my heart

 I spent a week just talking to the air

 And when your heart is broken

 You want the whole world to be blue

I just want to know you’re hurting too

 I hope you feel a little homesick

 I hope your mother doesn’t call

 ‘Cause the only thing I have

 To comfort me is hanging on the wall

 It’s my graduation picture

 Proves I can make it on my own

 But every other picture on the wall

 Is proof I hate to be alone

 And when your heart is broken

 You want the whole world to be blue

I just want to know you’re hurting too

 A stairway to climb out of this pit

 What use would that be

 When all I want is you down here with me

 I didn’t mean for you to hear this

 But I’m kind of glad you did

 Instead of saying we’re just friends

 Let’s tear it open and call it what it is

 It’s a knife right through my rib cage

 It’s a hammer to my head

 It’s a miracle that I’m still standing up

 When most of me is dead

 And when your heart is broken

 You want the whole world to be blue

I just want to know you’re hurting too
