Am G C  (2x)

[Verse 1]

Am          G                 C
Mama always told me don’t you run
                    Am           G
Don’t you run with scissors, son
             C
You’re gonna hurt someone
Am           G               C
Mama told me look before you leap
               Am             G
Always think before you speak,
              C
and watch the friends you keep


[Pre-Chorus]

F
Stay along the beaten path,
G
never listened when she said


[Chorus]

C       G      Am
  Sharp edges have consequences
 Dm          G        Am
I guess that I had to find out for myself
C       G      Am
  Sharp edges have consequences
 Dm       G         Am
Now every scar is a story I can tell


[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

Am               G              C
Should’ve played safer from the start
                 Am             G
Loved you like a house of cards
       C
Let it fall apart
    Am               G             C
But all the things I couldn’t understand
      Am               G
Never could’ve planned
             C
They made me who I am


[Pre-Chorus]

F
Put your nose on paperbacks
  G
Instead of smoking cigarettes
Am                 G             C
These years you’re never getting back
F
Stay along the beaten path,
G
never listened when she said


[Chorus]

C       G      Am
  Sharp edges have consequences
 Dm          G        Am
I guess that I had to find out for myself
C       G      Am
  Sharp edges have consequences
 Dm       G         Am
Now every scar is a story I can tell


[Bridge]

C    G        Am
  We all fall down
            Dm
We live somehow
   G          Am
We learn what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger
C    G        Am
  We all fall down
            Dm
We live somehow
   G          Am
We learn what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger
C  G      Am
  Uuhh Uh Uh
        Dm
Uuhh Uh Uh
 G      Am
Uuhh Uh Uh


[Pre-Chorus]

F
Stay along the beaten path,
G
never listened when she said


[Chorus]

C       G      Am
  Sharp edges have consequences
 Dm          G        Am
I guess that I had to find out for myself
C       G      Am
  Sharp edges have consequences
 Dm       G         Am
Now every scar is a story I can tell


[Outro]

C    G        Am
  We all fall down
            Dm
We live somehow
   G          Am
We learn what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger
C    G        Am
  We all fall down
            Dm
We live somehow
   G          Am
We learn what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger
C  G      Am
  Uuhh Uh Uh
        Dm
Uuhh Uh Uh
 G      Am
Uuhh Uh Uh
