[Verse 1]
Am                                    G            F
  You asked me to be yours, well, you're tempting fate
                              G           Am
How I left a promise but it's one I can't make
                              G         F
Lord knows it'd kill me if you walked away
                                              F
But darling, my lies, they hide you from the pain


[Chorus 1]
F                          Am     G
Stay, let me explain why I act so mean
                                Am          F
Don't look away, baby, it's not all that it seems
                                   Am      G
I'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave
                 Am                    Am7 Am
My heart will break like I'm seventeen


[Verse 2]
Am                                              G            F
  You're not the first one to leave me and you won't be the last
Continúa después del anuncio
                                 G           Am
It just doesn't heave me like it did in the past
                         G            F
I will never be seen to act like you act
                                       F
To take someone easy and leave it at that


[Chorus 2]
F                          Am     G
Stay, let me explain why I act so mean
                                Am          F
Don't look away, baby, it's not all that it seems
                                   Am      G
I'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave
                 Am                F
My heart will break like I'm seventeen
   Am                F
Break like I'm seventeen


[Bridge]
A                          F                     G
  I say less than I should,  I say more than I mean
                                           A
I would try if I could, but I'm all I can be
                      F                         G
If I had more I would   change the cover, you see
                                                   A   G F
I have walls that have stood before you ever loved me
                      A   G F
Before you ever loved me


[Chorus 3]
F                          Am     G
Stay, let me explain why I act so mean
                                Am          F
Don't look away, baby, it's not all that it seems
                                   Am      G
I'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave
                 Am     F
My heart will break

F                          Am     G
Stay, let me explain why I act so mean
                                Am          F
Don't look away, baby, it's not all that it seems
                                   Am      G
I'm so afraid that you'll just get up and leave
                 Am                F
My heart will break like I'm seventeen
        Am                F
I'll break like I'm seventeen
           Am              F     Am     F
It will break like I'm seventeen
