Chords

As recorded by Jelly Roll & Skylar Grey (From the 2024 Album BEAUTIFULY BROKEN) [Chorus]

Am                  F
Don't judge me if I get too high tonight

C                G
My journey isn't yours, it's only mine

Am                  F
The damage has been done, so this, I pray

C                         N.C.
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday

[Verse 1]

Am
Her mom and daddy trusted

F
That neighbor she grew up with

C
They were working days and nights

      G
So he took her home from school sometimes

Am
One day, when she came home

   F
It looked like she saw a ghost

C
She snuck up to her room to cry

G                          Am
With a lifelong scar to hide

[Interlude]

F                C
 Yeah, life is unfair

       G
It's unfair

[Verse 2]

Am
Young enough for princess posters

F
Suddenly, she's lifetimes older

C
He stole the innocence from her

G
Before she knew the meaning of the word

Am
Hours in the shower steam

F
 Still never felt clean

C
As she curls into a ball

G
Some things you can't wash off

[Chorus]

Am                  F
Don't judge me if I get too high tonight

C                G
My journey isn't yours, it's only mine

Am                  F
The damage has been done, so this, I pray

C                            G                     Am
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday

[Guitar Solo] Am F C G [Bridge]

Am
A few paths in life she could take

F
But not one of them I could blame

C
Finding every way to numb

G
Finding ways to overcome

  Am
I pray that God will right that wrong

           F
And she'll find a way to carry on

           C
'Cause you ain't the hell that you've been through

       G
You're more than what's been done to you

[Chorus]

Am                  F
Don't judge me if I get too high tonight

C                G
My journey isn't yours, it's only mine

Am                  F
The damage has been done, so this, I pray

C                            G                     Am
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday

[Post-Chorus]

Am
In those corners, you'll find

F
That you're broken and scared

C
There's no one by your side

G
Still all your angels are there

Am
 At your lowest of lows

F
When life's been cruel and unfair

C
 I just hope that you know

G
All your angels are there

Am  F  C  G
       Yeah

[Outro]

Am                  F            N.C.
Don't judge me if I get too high tonight
