[Intro] | F# A | E F# | F# A | A F# | x2 [Verse 1]
F#            A
 In the glare of a neon sign

     E             F#
She laid her body down

                        A
The damned walked in beside her

                     F#
And he laid his money down

                        A
He said don't try to scream now

       E                F#
But I want this one to hurt

              A
And tonight, my pretty one

                          F#
I'm gonna get my money's worth

                    A
He said they never listen

                 E           F#
She said they'd never understand

                        A
That I don't this for pleasure

        E             F#
I just do it cause I can

                  A
I swear I didn't want to

        E              F#
And I swear I didn't know

                       A
That things like this could happen

     E       F#
To a 17-year old
[Chorus]
          D         A             E       F#m
And I've bundled up all of these fears inside

          D         A            E
And I've bottled up all of this pain

     D         A           E          F#m
And no one or nothing can take this away

       D            A       E
But I won't let it happen again

        F#    A    E    F#     A     F#
Never again
[Verse 2]
F#           A
 In the haze of a smoky room

     E                 F#
He chokes that bottle down

                             A
It's been a month since her saw her face

                              F#
Underneath the blood stained gown

                  A
He thinks about that little girl

        E          F#
And the one he has at home

                                A
And wonders, "What if that was my little girl

                         F#
Walking down that road alone?"
[Chorus]
          D         A             E       F#m
And I've bundled up all of these fears inside

          D         A            E
And I've bottled up all of this pain

     D         A           E          F#m
And no one or nothing can take this away

       D            A       E
But I won't let it happen again

        F#m    D    F#m
Never again

 D      F#m    D    F#m    E
Never again
[Instrumental] | F# A | E F# | x2 [Bridge]
 F#              A           E           F#
Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside

                   A                     E               F#
But either way my soul is gone, And I'll end this all tonight

                      A                  E                 F#
The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun

                        A              E               F#
As he cries out to the heavens, "I am not my father's son"
[Chorus]
          D         A             E       F#m
And I've bundled up all of these fears inside

          D         A            E
And I've bottled up all of this pain

     D         A           E          F#m
And no one or nothing can take this away

       D            A       E
But I won't let it happen again

        F#m    D    F#m
Never again

 D      F#m    D    F#m    E
Never again
