[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
There was a girl with the toughest of skin
G Bm
She made sure that everyone around knew that she wasn't sensitive
D
She walked around (Ah, ah)
Let nobody in (Ah, ah)
G Bm
Thought if she'd never gave her heart away, it'd never end up broken
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G
But boy x, across the street, oh, he was one of a kind
A D
Made her fall in love with only just a look in her eyes
Bm
but when they wandered off to someone else's for the first time
A
She cried and cried and cried
[Chorus]
D
Next time you move on
Bm
Like I know you'll do
G D A
Tell me you won't treat her like you did with me and you
D
When she falls hard
Bm
And a little too soon
G D A
Promise you won't promise things you know just won't come true
G D A
And don't you dare make her feel like she's the only thing you're seeing, no
G Bm A
Don't do that stupid thing with your eyes, unless you mean it
D Bm
When you get bored, like you always do
G D A Bm
Tell me that you'll let her go before you look for someone new
[Verse 2]
D
Yeah, this very girl
Brown eyes and blonde ends
G Bm
No she never wasted time but time with him just felt so different
D
She wrote him songs
Just to watch him listening
G
A hundred songs, a couple months and
Bm A
No, she never saw it comin'
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
Next time boy x, he crossed the street, she'd never see him again
A D
She really though he was forever then forever was dead
Bm
Left her holdin' up the pieces of her heart by a thread
A
He left her there to die
[Chorus]
D
Next time you move on
Bm
Like I know you'll do
G D A
Tell me you won't treat her like you did with me and you
D
When she falls hard
Bm
And a little too soon
G D A
Promise you won't promise things you know just won't come true
G D A
And don't you dare make her feel like she's the only thing you're seeing, no
G Bm A
Don't do that stupid thing with your eyes, unless you mean it
D Bm
When you get bored, like you always do
G D A Bm
Tell me that you'll let her go before you look for someone new
[Outro]
D
There was a girl
D
Not too different from me
G Bm A
She thought she found her world but then the world found out she's weak
D
I guess that's okay
D
No I just couldn't see
G Bm
That there's a billion of boy x, but babe it's only one of me
There was a girl
With the toughest of skin
She made sure that everyone around knew that she wasn't sensitive
She walked around
Let nobody in
Thought if she never give her heart away it'd never end up broken
But boy x across the street, oh, he was one of a kind
Made her fall in love with only just a look in her eyes
When they wandered off to someone else's for the first time
She cried and cried and cried
Next time you move on
Like I know you'll do
Tell me you won't treat her like you did with me and you
And when she falls hard
And a little too soon
Promise you won't promise things you know just won't come true
And don't you dare make her feel like she's the only thing you're seeing
No, don't do that stupid thing with your eyes unless you mean it
When you get bored
Like you always do
Tell me that you'll let her go
Before you look for someone new
Yeah, this very girl
Brown eyes and blonde ends
No, she never wasted time but time with him just felt so different
She wrote him songs
Just to watch him listening
A hundred songs a couple months in
No, she never saw it coming
Next time boy x, he crossed the street, she'd never see him again
She really thought he was forever, then forever was dead
Left her holding up the pieces of her heart by a thread
He left her there to die
Next time you move on
Like I know you'll do
Tell me you won't treat her like you did with me and you
When she falls hard
And a little too soon
Promise you won't promise things you know just won't come true
And don't you dare make her feel like she's the only thing you're seeing
No, don't do that stupid thing with your eyes unless you mean it
When you get bored
Like you always do
Tell me that you'll let her go
Before you look for someone new
There was a girl
Not too different from me
She thought she found her world
But then the world found out she's weak
I guess that's okay
No, I just couldn't see
That there's a billion of boy x
But babe, there's only one of me
