Bottled Up

Dm                                  Bb
This is a story of a girl broken-hearted

Am                                Dm
Messed up her head, she's so guarded

                 Bb    Am
Don't get me started, whoa

Dm                                        Bb
It's cause of you that I got this thick skin

              Am
I don't wanna let nobody in

Dm
All the pain just stayed in place

       Bb                   Am         D      Bb      Am     Gm
And I kept it all tucked away for so long, so long, so long, oh


[Chorus:]

              Dm
I just wanna yell

                  Cm                   F
And I just wanna throw it all in your face

                  Bb
It's silly that I've always felt this way

              Am
You'd never know

               Dm
I just wanna yell

                    Cm             F
You know that I can only take so much

                   Bb                  Am        Dm
And I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore, anymore

           Cm    F          Bb
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh

               Am
Whoa, I don't wanna keep it bottled up


Dm                                 Bb
I was there, hanging on by a string

            Am               Dm
Trying to give you my everything

                            Bb     Am
Yeah, that's what they all sing, yeah

Dm                               Bb
You don't know what you put me through

            Am                  Dm
Trying so hard just to prove to you


That I got something to say

       Bb                 Am          D        Bb     Am    Gm
But I kept it all tucked away for so long, so long, so long, oh

[Chorus:]

                       Dm
But now I just wanna yell

              Cm                    F
I just wanna throw it all in your face

                       Bb
It's silly that I've always felt this way

                Am
But you'd never know, oh oh

               Dm
I just wanna yell

                    Cm             F
You know that I can only take so much

                   Bb                   Am        Dm
And I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore, anymore

          Cm   F           Bb
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh, yeah

Am       Dm
Whoa, anymore

          Cm   F          Bb
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh

               Am
Whoa oh oh oh oh, uh yeah


Dm
I never talked about the way I really felt

    Bb                                       Am
You put my heart through hell, thought you knew me so well

Dm
But, uh-uh, just waiting for me to fail

Bb                                Am                          Dm
But I'm doing the opposite and I can't wait to tell the whole world


You're the one you said would eat me up

Bb                             Am
Remember when I told you that I wasn't good enough?

             Dm
And yes, started to believe you, I felt like giving up

         Bb                           Am
Left me with a dream crushed and your empty words stuck to me

Dm
I didn't wanna ever feel like that again

Bb                               Am
So I locked up any kind of emotion, but

Dm
I got the keys and I'm ready now

Bb                        Am
Set the caged bird free, time to let it out
