  			    G               B7           Em  
I heard you said that words are deadly things? 
C                     Cm             G       D7  
I was surprised to find myself alive and breathing 
       G                      B7                      Em                                           
I said I know it's tough but I'm growing up; and your love, it just ain't  
C 
good enough,  
   G          Em       D       G 
so I'm taking back my heart for me.  
G                  B7       Em  
I was lured into every word you speak.           
C                  Cm                            G          D7              
Yeah when I was young you could tie my tongue and weaken my knees,  
      G                       B7             Em                C  
But the lines been drawn and I'm moving on. Another girl would come  
              G      Em       D    G 
along, so I'm taking back my heart for me. 
 C                                  D                     G  
This is the end of the road this is where we are, you can keep all your  
                 Em 
memories but I'm taking my heart. 
        C                 D                G G7  
Turns out being away is a wonderful way to be. 
C                                   D                    G  
I'm going back to the earth, back to open doors, back to beach boys records  
    Cm 
and minor 4's   
        G       Em     C      D7 G 
Cause I'm taking back my heart for me. 
  
   G                B7           Em  
I heard you said that words are deadly things? 
C                     Cm             G    D7  
I was surprised to find myself alive and breathing 
G                            B7                Em              
I said I know it's tough but I'm growing up; and your love, 
              C 
it just ain't good enough, 
   G           Em     D     G 
so I'm taking back my heart for me.
