Key: D
Introduction:
Dm Bb
This is a story of a girl broken-hearted
Am Dm
Messed up her head, she's so guarded
Bb Am
Don't get me started, whoa
Dm Bb
It's cause of you that I got this thick skin
Am
I don't wanna let nobody in
Dm
All the pain just stayed in place
Bb Am D Bb Am Gm
And I kept it all tucked away for so long, so long, so long, oh
Dm
I just wanna yell
Cm F
And I just wanna throw it all in your face
Bb
It's silly that I've always felt this way
Am
You'd never know
Dm
I just wanna yell
Cm F
You know that I can only take so much
Bb Am Dm
And I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore, anymore
Cm F Bb
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Am
Whoa, I don't wanna keep it bottled up
Dm Bb
I was there, hanging on by a string
Am Dm
Trying to give you my everything
Bb Am
Yeah, that's what they all sing, yeah
Dm Bb
You don't know what you put me through
Am Dm
Trying so hard just to prove to you
That I got something to say
Bb Am D Bb Am Gm
But I kept it all tucked away for so long, so long, so long, oh
Dm
But now I just wanna yell
Cm F
I just wanna throw it all in your face
Bb
It's silly that I've always felt this way
Am
But you'd never know, oh oh
Dm
I just wanna yell
Cm F
You know that I can only take so much
Bb Am Dm
And I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore, anymore
Cm F Bb
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh, yeah
Am Dm
Whoa, anymore
Cm F Bb
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Am
Whoa oh oh oh oh, uh yeah
Dm
I never talked about the way I really felt
Bb Am
You put my heart through hell, thought you knew me so well
Dm
But, uh-uh, just waiting for me to fail
Bb Am Dm
But I'm doing the opposite and I can't wait to tell the whole world
You're the one you said would eat me up
Bb Am
Remember when I told you that I wasn't good enough?
Dm
And yes, started to believe you, I felt like giving up
Bb Am
Left me with a dream crushed and your empty words stuck to me
Dm
I didn't wanna ever feel like that again
Bb Am
So I locked up any kind of emotion, but
Dm
I got the keys and I'm ready now
Bb Am
Set the caged bird free, time to let it out
