I heard it said that words are deadly things? 
            C              Cm           G       D7 
I was surprised to find myself alive and breathing 
       G                          B7                   Em 
I said I know it's tough but I'm growing up; and your love, it just ain't  
Cm 
good enough,  
         G    Em       C    D7    G 
so I'm taking back my heart for me.

I was lured into every word you speak.           
                 C              Cm               G          D7 
Yeah when I was young you could tie my tongue and weaken my knees,  
        G                       B7             Em                Cm 
But the lines been drawn and I'm moving on. Another girl will come  
              G      Em       C  D7    G         G7 
along, so I'm taking back my heart for me.

This is the end of the road this is where we part, you can keep all your  
                 Em 
memories but I'm taking my heart. 
        C                 D7                G G7 
Turns out being away is a wonderful way to be. 
          C                           D7                  G 
I'm going back to the earth, back to open doors, back to beach boys records  
   Cm 
and minor 4's   
          G       Em     C      D7 G 
Cause I'm taking back my heart for me.
