Bm                           D
I'd barely seen you when you asked me if I hated you
E                               G
Wasn't surprised but still had nothing I could say to you
Bm                   D                         G    A
I'm sorry if I ever made you feel the way you do, mmm

         Bm                               D
Yeah, I know I know you better than your parents
          G                              A
I heard about 'em, you don't gotta be embarrassed
         Bm                                       D
You go online 'cause that's where you can be the saddest
                    E     G
You've been acting careless

Chorus:
             Bm             D
Know you put on a happy face
             G                   A
You need someone who's gonna stay
               Bm                     D
I know you're crushed under the weight
                E                  G
Wanna hold you up, wanna hold you up
                 Bm               D
You keep things bottled up inside
              G                 A
I wish you'd give someone a try
          Bm                  D
You fell apart a million times
               E                   G
Wanna hold you up, wanna hold you up
                       Bm D G A
Before my heart gives out

You're losing track of all the friends I know you used to have
Don't know what happened but the old you wasn't half as bad
I'm sorry no one sees what's going on inside your head

Yeah, I know I know you better than your parents
I heard about 'em, you don't gotta be embarrassed
You go online 'cause that's where you can be the saddest
You've been acting careless

Chorus

    D            G           A         Bm
I know that you hate when I figure you out
     D      E               G              Bm
You get so distant just so you can hear a sound
        D               G                 A             Bm
Swear that you've been gone but yet your body's still around
D                     E G
What are you doing now?
