Intro -x2-: Dm C F

Verse 1:
Dm          C                 F
Mama always told me don’t you run
                    Dm           C
Don’t you run with scissors, son
             F
You’re gonna hurt someone
Dm           C               F
Mama told me look before you leap
               Dm             C
Always think before you speak,
              F
and watch the friends you keep

Pre-Chorus:
Bb
Stay along the beaten path,
C
never listened when she said

Chorus:
F       C      Dm
  Sharp edges have consequences
 Gm          C        Dm
I guess that I had to find out for myself
F       C      Dm
  Sharp edges have consequences
 Gm       C         Dm
Now every scar is a story I can tell

Instrumental: F C F

Verse 2:
Dm               C              F
Should’ve played safer from the start
                 Dm             C
Loved you like a house of cards
       F
Let it fall apart
    Dm               C             F
But all the things I couldn’t understand
      Dm               C
Never could’ve planned
             F
They made me who I am

Pre-Chorus:
Bb
Put your nose on paperbacks
  C
Instead of smoking cigarettes
Dm                 C             F
These years you’re never getting back
Bb
Stay along the beaten path,
C
never listened when she said

Chorus:
F       C      Dm
  Sharp edges have consequences
 Gm          C        Dm
I guess that I had to find out for myself
F       C      Dm
  Sharp edges have consequences
 Gm       C         Dm
Now every scar is a story I can tell
