Intro: Em
Em
You've lived a haunted life

Bm
I've tried to imagine how I'd feel

B
If I was thrown into the public eye

                       Em
Before my wounds had healed

Em
The way you flashed us with your

Bm                              B
Scars and told us about your rules
Like we were students in your
                             Em
"how-to-be-dramatic" little school

Em
Now I can understand how

Bm                            B
After all that you've been through
You'd lock yourself inside
                                   Em
Waiting for us to come and rescue you
But what I can't fathom is
Bm
While imprisoned in yourself

B
You wouldn't ever take a look around

                     Em
Just blame everyone else

Em                         Bm
Pulling the "look-at-me-I'm-hurt" card

                               B
Got you friends that wouldn't dare
Question any little tantrum
                                    Em
No, halfway – they would meet you there

Em                         Bm
Your lover fears your reactions

                          B
He's like a puppy on a leash
He doesn't tread outside your boundaries
                   Em
Without saying "please"

Em
Now I can understand how

Bm
You’d be scared to trust again

B
Seeing how fame would be a magnet

                           Em
For attention seeking friends

Em
But what I can't fathom is

Bm
If your friends lie to keep you calm

B
You wouldn’t ever ask yourself

                      Em
Who they go that idea from

Em
I could be scared of you

                        B
I would cater to your needs

                                                        Em
Your dominating ways, my overwhelming fear of conflict feeds

Em                              Bm
But I've learned not to get involved

                            B
By admitting more about myself

                                                          Em
Takes one to know one honey, trust me take a look inside yourself
