[Verse]
        Db
She was dancing, she was smiling
Db                   F#
Roses blooming in her cheeks
Ab           Bbm
In her quiet kind of litany
Db           (Fm) F#
She accepted some defeat
Ab           Bbm
And then she twirled into the arms
Db           F#
Of disgrace, and then repelled
Ab           Bbm
Now she's fallen to her knees,
Db           (Fm) F#
But you couldn't ever tell

[Pre-Chorus]
          Ebm          F#
And then, she asked me how we got here
          Bbm
I told her I don't know
                   Fm
And if you keep on asking
               Db
I'll just keep saying
    Ebm        Bbm  
So, this isn't what I wanted
F#       Db
It isn't what you need
Bbm
But let them keep on talking
Db
Just calm yourself and

[Chorus]
F#   Bbm                    Ab
Breathe, don't you pay them any mind
F#
Don't you pay them any mind
Bbm           Ab
You know this happens every time
F#
Now don't you pay them (any mind)

[Verse]
Ab           Bbm
Where the burdens of her mother
Db                   F#
Weigh like sandbags on her eyes
Ab           Bbm
As she closes, just to open
Db           (Fm) F#
As the sirens wailing by
Ab           Bbm
And now she's off to tell her secret
Db                   F#
To her friends somewhere in town
Ab           Bbm
And her friend just takes a moment
Db           (Fm) F#
And that's why I'm not around

Ab               Bbm
Darling, this is something
Db               F#
I should have told you long ago
Ab               Bbm
I just want you to feel safe
Db               F#
I just want to make you glow
Ab               Bbm
Oh, how you glowed when we were young
Db               F#
And with nothing on our minds
Ab               Bbm
But each other, one another
Db                          Bbm
And we had nothing then but time

[Pre-Chorus]
          Ebm          F#
And then, she asked me how we got here
          Bbm
I told her I don't know
                   Fm
And if you keep on asking
               Db
I'll just keep saying
    Ebm        Bbm  
So, this isn't what I wanted
F#       Db
It isn't what you need
Bbm
Oh, let them keep on talking
Db
Just calm yourself and

[Chorus]
F#   Bbm                    Ab
Breathe, don't you pay them any mind
F#
Don't you pay them any mind
Bbm           Ab
You know this happens every time
F#
Now don't you pay them any mind

Ab    Bbm        Db                  F#
Oh, why do we have to go through this every time?


Ab        Bbm          Db            F#
Some days you hear it (don't listen, I'll carry you)
Ab        Bbm          Db            F#
Some days you don't (to the universe we'll never go)
Ab        Bbm          Db            F#
Sometimes you feel it (it's not worth it, help me)
Ab        Bbm
Sometimes you won't

Just calm yourself and

Breathe, don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now don't you pay them any mind
F#   Bbm                    Ab
Don't you pay them any mind
F#
Don't you pay them any mind
Bbm           Ab
You know this happens every time
F#
Now don't you pay them any mind
