[Verse]
Am C
She's younger than she looks
But she’s old enough to know
Em
The nature of this world
Am7
And so the story goes
F
She's dressed up like her friends
C
But she's prettier than them
G
The whole room turns to look
Am
Like something from a book
[Refrain]
F
Ooh-ooh
[Verse]
Am F
The speech becomes a slur
C
She’s talking to some creep
Em
Uncomfortable as hell
Am
But too polite to leave
F
The lines begin to blur
C
There's something in her drink
Em
She stumbles to his car
F
And no one says a thing
[Pre-Chorus]
C Gm Dm
Oh my love, you're so young
[Chorus]
Am F
Some might say she's able to get back her normal life
C
When you love someone unwillingly,
Em
you leave yourself behind
Am F
You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times
C Em E
Say you're gonna leave him there and find a better life
[Verse 3]
Am Fmaj7
Down the rabbit hole
C
She wakes up in his bed
Em
Confused about her heart
Am
And bruised between her legs
Fmaj7
But she's too afraid to leave
C
Or bite the hand that hits
E
She tells herself it's love
F
Then plays along with it
[Pre-Chorus]
C Gm Dm
Oh my friend, you’re still young
[Chorus]
Am F
Some might say she’s able to get back her normal life
C
When you love someone unwillingly,
Em
you leave yourself behind
Am F
You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times
C Em E
Say you’re gonna leave him there and find a better life
[Post-Chorus]
F C
Oh, oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
Gm Dm
Run (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
F C
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh)
[Bridge]
Am F
Abused at 17
C
Some unrelenting creep
NC
The father of her son
[Chorus]
Am F
Some might say she's able to get back her normal life
C
When you love someone unwillingly,
Em
you leave yourself behind
Am F
You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times
C Em E
Say you're gonna leave him there and find a better life
[Outro]
Am
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
F
Ah, find a better life
Am
Oh, find a better life
A
