Verse 1:
A#m
She spent the night out with a guy
G# C#
Who gives attention when she cries herself to sleep
G#
I heard her say
A#m
So, she gives him what he wants
G# C#
As long as he can make her feel okay
G#sus4 G#
But she's not okay
Chorus:
F#
We avoid the topics
C#
We make the kids have secrets
A#m
When they are exposed
G#
And everyone else knows
F#
We'll say we never knew it
C#/F
That they had a problem
A#m/D#
'Cause if we would have known
C# G#
We surely would have solved it
A#m C# F#
But we can't, it's too late
A#m C# F#
I said we can't, it's too late
Verse 2:
A#m
He's skipping classes 'cause he hates them
G# C#
And hopes he passes not to take them all again
G#
I heard him say
A#m
He escapes them with the pills
G# C#
The ones he takes to make him feel like he's okay
G#
But he's not okay
Chorus
Bridge
D#m
God, You've got to save us
F# A#m F# A#m/F#
We hide behind the faces that we make to disguise
D#m
The things that we're ashamed of
F# A#m G#sus4 G#
And all the ugly things that make us close our eyes
C# F#
They make us close our eyes
A#m G#
Why do we close our eyes?
Chorus
end on G#
