A
She always said the world was overrated
B
And she couldn't take the drama it created
D
It's a wonder that she didn't wind up jaded
A                                        G
From all the times she's been let down
A
Well, mom and dad split up when she was four years old
B
And left the world as she knew it spinning out of control
D
And she grew up feeling a hole in her soul
A
'Cause they were never around
F#m                                 Bm
She said, "why's everybody always leaving?
                         D
I just want someone to believe in

And someone who believes in me"

I grew up in the glass house of a preacher
B
Where every move I ever made was a feature
D
And when you don't always do what they teach you

A                                    G
You see, they always point you out
A
But it's just like tobyMac used to say,
B
"Some people gotta learn the hardway"

And when I couldn't outrun all the things I'd done

I picked up the phone and my dad said, "son …"
