G#m
I'm sorry about your parents, they sound like bad people

E                        F#
Your daddy sounds like a jerk

G#m                               E                    F#
I guess your mama didn't know the gift she got when she got you

G#m
I'm sorry about your life, you had it pretty rough

E                       F#
Bending over backwards, never good enough

G#m                                E    F#  
You poor thing, it must suck to be you
Pre-Chorus:
E                               F#           G#m
And I know it's not your fault, it never is, is it?
Chorus:
G#m                   E                  B             F#
I, I, know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds

G#m                   E                         B              F#
It takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always lose

Oh, don't you know? That's no way to live

(listen to the song for the rhythm here:) G#m E F G#m E F G#m G#m E F# Verse:
G#m
I get it, give me a little credit

E                F#
I remember, when I was that pathetic

G#m
Wear my scars on my sleeve, for all the world to see

     E                               F#
Like look what they did to me quick, lay on the sympathy thick

G#m
You probably have the right to feel how you do

         E                                 F#
You were mistreated and cheated out of the childhood you needed

G#m
And now you'll never succeed if you're so convinced you're defeated

             E                                     F#
If you're obsessed with your yesterday then you're destined to repeat it
