[Verse 1]
Am
She's only seventeen,
her whole life's ahead of her
F
She hates school because the people there discredit her
C
Her boyfriend tries to show her that's not how it seems
G
But every day she just gets lower with her selfesteem
Am
He lets her know that every night will have a brighter
day
F
She even tried to overdose and take her life away
C
She's feeling hopeless there just sitting down beside her
bed
G
And then he takes his hand and places it beside her head
Am
He tries to hold her,
but with every touch she still resists
F
And then he sees the scars that berry deep within her
wrists
C
She's feeling numb,
he starts to beg and plead and ask her why
G
She says this way she has control of pain she feels inside
Am
He's asking her,
F
"How long it's going since you've felt this way?
Because you've got me here just feeling so damn helpless"
C
She says,
"It's been a while;
I guess I needed better luck"
G
And then he screams at her and tells her, "Baby,
never cut!"
[Chorus]
Am
Nobody seems to get you,
you feel you're on your own
F
But listen, pretty lady,
you don't have to be alone
C
So baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut
G
You can do anything, just promise, baby,
you won't
Am
I know your heart is hurting,
you think the road has end
F
You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only
friend
C
But baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut
G
You can do anything, just promise, baby,
you won't
[Verse 2]
Am
The next day at school she's feeling better than the day
before
F
Even cracked a couple smiles as she walked the corridor
C
But all that seemed to end,
she dropped her books as she went into class
G
And every student in the room just seemed to point and
laugh
Am
She couldn't take it anymore,
she sent her boy a text
F
She said, "I love you with my body,
heart and soul to death"
C
He thought nothing,
typed "I love you"; then he sent it
G
By death he didn't know that she had literally just meant
it
Am
She ducked the next class,
ran home into her bathroom
F
Thought to herself she wouldn't break her promise that soon
C
One cut... two cuts... three cuts...
four
G
The blood just started dripping from the tub to the floor
Am
Her boyfriend had a feeling in his stomach that he hated
F
He followed it and ran down to her house,
he never waited
C
The front door was open,
he heard the water running
G
He stormed into the bathroom,
and his heart just started gunning
[Chorus]
Am
Nobody seems to get you,
you feel you're on your own
F
But listen, pretty lady,
you don't have to be alone
C
So baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut
G
You can do anything, just promise, baby,
you won't
Am
I know your heart is hurting,
you think the road has end
F
You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only
friend
C
But baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut
G
You can do anything, just promise, baby,
you
[Verse 3]
Am
He puts her arm around his shoulder,
he's trying to lean her back up
F
Yelling out her name as he lays her beside the bathtub
C
He feels his whole world just took a hit from a big
avalanche
G
Screaming out so heavily,
"Somebody call an ambulance!"
Am
Feeling mad, angry,
like somebody's led her on to this
F
Her eyeballs are rolling,
drifting out of consciousness
C
Thinking to himself "Why the hell didn't she stop at will?"
G
The tears just keep on rolling as they head to the hospital
Am
Paramedics rush her in,
doctor calls emergency
F
She's lost a lot of blood,
the place looks like a murder scene
C
An hour later,
the doc walks over with a sour face
G
And says,
"Excuse me for the words that I'm about to say
Am
I'm sorry for your loss,
" the boy just starts collapsing
F
His own world,
his own girl just took a crashing
C
Saying to himself that it's his fault and that he let it up
G
Baby,
I thought you made a promised you would never cut..
.
[Outro]
Am
Nobody seems to get you,
you feel you're on your own
F
But listen, pretty lady,
you don't have to be alone
C
So baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut
G
You can do anything, just promise, baby,
you won't
Am
I know your heart is hurting,
you think the road has end
F
You may just feel that blade you're holding is your only
friend
C
But baby, don't cut, baby, don't cut
G
You can do anything, just promise, baby,
Am
you won't cut
