            D#
There was a girl with the toughest of skin
                   G#                             Cm
She made sure that everyone around knew that she wasn't sensitive
            D#
She walked around (Ah, ah)
Let nobody in (Ah, ah)
                 G#                               Cm
Thought if she'd never gave her heart away, it'd never end up broken

        G#
But boy x, across the street, oh, he was one of a kind
          A#                            D#
Made her fall in love with only just a look in her eyes
              Cm
but when they wandered off to someone else's for the first time
      A#
She cried and cried and cried

Chorus:
             D#
Next time you move on
            Cm
Like I know you'll do
G#                                    D#              A#
Tell me you won't treat her like you did with me and you
          D#
When she falls hard
              Cm
And a little too soon
G#                                    D#                    A#
Promise you won't promise things you know just won't come true
               G#                               D#                 A#
And don't you dare make her feel like she's the only thing you're seeing, no
G#                                    Cm               A#
Don't do that stupid thing with your eyes, unless you mean it
         D#                  Cm
When you get bored, like you always do
G#                               D#                 A#      Cm
Tell me that you'll let her go before you look for someone new

Yeah, this very girl
Brown eyes and blonde ends
No, she never wasted time but time with him just felt so different
She wrote him songs
Just to watch him listening
A hundred songs, a couple months in
No, she never saw it comin'

The next time boy x, he crossed the street, she'd never see him again
She really thought he was forever then forever was dead
Left her holdin' up the pieces of her heart by a thread
He left her there to die

Chorus:
Next time you move on (Move on)
Like I know you'll do (Know you'll do)
Tell me you won't treat her like you did with me and you
When she falls hard (Falls hard)
And a little too soon (Little too soon)
Promise you won't promise things you know just won't come true
And don't you dare make her feel like she's the only thing you're seeing, no
Don't do that stupid thing with your eyes, unless you mean it
When you get bored, like you always do
Tell me that you'll let her go before you look for someone new

There was a girl
Not too different from me
She thought she found the world
But then the world found out she's weak
I guess that's okay
No, I just couldn't see
That there was a billion of boy x, but babe, there's only one of me
