Verse C#m E
She's younger than she looks
But she’s old enough to know
G#m
The nature of this world
C#m7
And so the story goes
A
She's dressed up like her friends
E
But she's prettier than them
B
The whole room turns to look
C#m
Like something from a book
[Refrain]
A
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
C#m A
The speech becomes a slur
E
She’s talking to some creep
G#m
Uncomfortable as hell
C#m
But too polite to leave
A
The lines begin to blur
E
There's something in her drink
G#m
She stumbles to his car
A
And no one says a thing
[Pre-Chorus]
E Bm F#m
Oh my love, you're so young
[Chorus]
C#m A
Some might say she's able to get back her normal life
E G#m
When you love someone unwillingly, you leave yourself behind
C#m A
You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times
E G#m G#
Say you're gonna leave him there and find a better life
[Verse 3]
C#m Amaj7
Down the rabbit hole
E
She wakes up in his bed
G#m
Confused about her heart
C#m
And bruised between her legs
Amaj7
But she's too afraid to leave
E
Or bite the hand that hits
G#
She tells herself it's love
A
Then plays along with it
[Pre-Chorus]
E Bm F#m
Oh my friend, you’re still young
[Chorus]
C#m A
Some might say she’s able to get back her normal life
E G#m
When you love someone unwillingly, you leave yourself behind
C#m A
You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times
E G#m G#
Say you’re gonna leave him there and find a better life
[Post-Chorus]
A E
Oh, oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
Bm F#m
Run (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
A E
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh)
[Bridge]
C#m A
Abused at 17
E
Some unrelenting creep
NC
The father of her son
[Chorus]
C#m A
Some might say she's able to get back her normal life
E G#m
When you love someone unwillingly, you leave yourself behind
C#m A
You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times
E G#m G#
Say you're gonna leave him there and find a better life
[Outro]

(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
A
Ah, find a better life
C#m
Oh, find a better life
A
