[Ab] [Ebm]
[Ab]
[Eb] He hid behind his lunchbox [Fm] every day at that bus stop where [Ab] some big ol' boys got their
kicks kicking 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] back down.
[Fm] With black in his eye and [Eb] blood in his mouth, [Ab] on the way home all he thought about is we
could have been teammates, we could have been friends.
[Fm] You could have made a difference, you could have stepped in.
[Db] If you didn't like me, you should have just [Ab] let me be.
[Db] But no, [Ebm] you hadn't been [Ab] gone.
[F] [Bb]
[Eb] She heard them laughing about the way he [Ab] 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, hating what she'd see.
[Fm] Tried to be pretty, became a disease.
[Ab] She was killing herself.
She died fitting [Eb] in.
[Fm] The diary she kept [Eb] underneath her bed, [Db] hid all those words that [Ebm] she never said.
[Db] We could have been sisters, cheering at the gates.
[Fm] We could have gone to prom, shared the same limousine.
[Db] If you didn't like me, you should have just [Ab] let me
[Eb] be.
But no, [Ab]
you hadn't been gone.
[Db] [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 headstone.
[Ab] That might as [F] well be.
[Eb] [Db] [Ab]
You had to pick [Fm] on me.
[F]
[Ebm] [Ab]
Yeah, you had to pick on [Eb] me.

With black in his eyes [Eb] and blood in his mouth, [Ab] on the way home, all he thought and felt
is we could have been teammates, we could have been friends.
[Fm] You could have made a difference, you could have stepped in.
[Db] If you didn't like me, you should have just let [Ab] me be.
[Eb] But [Db] no, [Ebm] you hadn't been gone.
