Am        G             C 
That boy, take me away, into the night 
Am           G                     C 
Out of the hum of the street lights and into a forest 
Am        G             C 
I'll do whatever you say to me in the dark 
Am                      G             C 
Scared I'll be torn apart by a wolf in mask 
            G                  C 
a familiar name on a birthday card 

Am G C 

Am                         G                      C 
Blow out all the candles, blow out all the candles 
C                            Am 
"You're too old to be so shy," 
Am              G           C 
he says to me so I stay the night 
Am                  G               C              
Just a young heart confusing my mind, 
C 
but we're both in silence 
Am    G   C 
Wide-eyed, both in silence 
Am   G     C                     Am   
Wide-eyed, like we're in a crime scene 

G C 
            Am                G 
Well I have brittle bones it seems 
           C                   Am 
I bite my tongue and torch my dreams
        C                Am 
Have a little voice to speak with 
       C                   Am 
And a mind of thoughts and secrecy
G               C 
Things cannot be reversed, 
    Am                       G 
we learn from the times that we are cursed 
Am                 G 
Things cannot be reversed, 
    Am                     G 
we learn from the ones we fear the worst 
    Am                      G 
And learn from the ones we hate the most
