[F] [Ab] [Ebm]
[Ab]
He hid behind his [Eb] lunchbox [Fm] every day at that bus stop
Where [Ab] some big ol' boys got their kicks kickin' him around
He was scared as hell of that recess bell [Fm] That playground was more like a battlefield
[Ab] And he knew he'd get himself killed if he didn't [Eb] fight back
[Fm] With black in his eye [Eb] and blood in his mouth [Ab] On the way home all he thought about
Is we could've been teammates, we could've been friends
[Fm] You could've made a difference, you could've stepped in
[Db] If you didn't like me, you should've just [Ab] let me be
[Eb]
[Db] But no, [Ebm] you had to pick [Ab] on me
She [F] [Bb]
[Eb] heard him laugh about the way [Ab] he looked
[Fm] In the hallway at the high school, she hid behind her books
[Ab] Every day in that lunchroom, she wouldn't eat a thing
She stared in that mirror, hatin' what she'd see
[Fm] Tried to be pretty, became a disease [Ab] She was killin' herself, she died fit [Eb] in
[Fm] The diary she kept [Eb] underneath her bed
[Db] It had all those words [Bb] that she never said
[Db] We could've been sisters, cheering at the games
[Fm] We could've gone to prom, shared the same limousine
[Db] If you didn't like me, you should've [Ab] just let me [Eb]
be
[Db] But no, [Ab]
you had to pick on [Db] me
[Fm]
[Db]
[Eb]
[Db] It's time to make a stand, take responsibility
[Ab] Cause it's gotten out of hand, there should never have to be
[Db] Another child's [Ab] headstone, that might [F] as well [Eb] read
