Capo '2
Intro: G C Em C
        G
You’re beautiful
                                  C
With the shiniest diamonds in your ears
                                               Em
You can’t hear your mother – she’s crying in the other room
            C
She knows it won’t be okay

Farther from her daughter with the coming of eachday

        G 
So you pick up your books, that you never read
 C
Run off to school like a good drama queen
Em
Do you care where you’re going, or know where you’ve been?
C
Barely a woman, you’re 18 years in

A
Our faith is placed in second chances
 C                     D
As the angel and her demons dance it’s

C             Em       D      G      C
Like you’re 18 years in with no way out
                Em          D         G          C
And you’re the star of the story you don’t care about
          Em            D                    G       C
Just a little girl in a bigger world turning upside-down
                 Em            D                  G              C
Well, don’t’ you throw it all away when no one’s here to pull you out

Em               C        G     D        Em
And when you’re safe and sound inside your bed
            C         G                  D               Em
I know you dream of things bigger than the things that you let live
            C        G     D           Em
When you’re safe and sound inside your bed
           
            C              G               D            C
I know you dream of things I, I know you dream 18 years in

Like you’re 18 years in with no way out
And you’re the star of the story you don’t care about
Just a little girl in a bigger world turning upside-down
Well, don’t’ you throw it all away when no one’s here to pull you out
