Hey, baby, you don't have to live this way
                 D   
You don't have a debt to pay
Em          C                       G         D   
So put your foot down and pick your heart up, off the ground
Em                     C           G                D

But for now just play along

9-1-1 I think we lost another one

Said he had a gun and called it love
Em                        C               G               D   
Pulled the trigger to her head, now she's dead livin' for another one
Em                    C               G
But you're worth more than you think and
                     D   
I know you're strong enough not to sink
Em          C                  G       D   
And chin up girl, I believe in you

Em                                      C
Now I know a lot of girls in this life, will end up with the wrong guy tonight
G                                   D   
But I really wanna prove a point to this young boy, right here, let's fight
Em                      C
He got his fists ready, I got my pen ready
G                                        D   
But I'll write somethin' so heavy it 'll bust up his brand new Chevy
Em          C
Mm-Man-man, poor excuse of a man
G                                           D   
Takin' these girls with sweet talk and then beat them down like trash talk

Em                                         C
I know you've been hurt by the way that he talks to you
