Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

She's in love and the world gets blurry

 She makes mistakes and she's in no hurry to grow up

 'Cause grownups they don't understand her

 Well it's a big, big world out there

 But she's not scared, she thinks that nobody cares about her problems

 And she's probably right

But it's alright

You'll be fine

 If you just stay with me

Whoa oh, whoa oh

 We get one step closer but we're still so far away

Whoa oh, whoa oh

 It's too bad empty bottles couldn't save her life today

She finds hope in the strangest places

 She reads her books and she knows the faces of everyone

 That ever said she's alone

She knows every word to the saddest songs

 And she sings along, though her friends all tell her that she can't sing

But it's alright

You'll be fine

 If you just listen to me

Whoa oh, whoa oh

 We get one step closer but we're still so far away

Whoa oh, whoa oh

 It's too bad empty bottles couldn't save her life today

She's eighteen

 Much too young to know what a kiss like that would mean

 But her lips, they were no stranger to the touch

 And she liked it way too much

 She never listened to a word her daddy told her

 She finds company with her cigarettes

 And feels alone when the sunsets

 And please

 Don't let this be love

 How can it be enough?

 This college town is too small for both of us

So we're running away

We'll pack our bags and take the first train

And we're getting the hell out of here

This place could burn for all we care

This place could burn for all we care

Hold me till then

This place could burn for all we care

Hold me till then

Whoa oh, whoa oh

 We get one step closer but we're still so far away

Whoa oh, whoa oh

 It's too bad empty bottles couldn't save her life today

The End
