[Verse 1]
F#            A
 In the glare of a neon sign
     E             F#
She laid her body down
                        A
The damned walked in beside her
                     F#
And he laid his money down
                        A
He said don't try to scream now
       E                F#
But I want this one to hurt
              A
And tonight, my pretty one
                          F#
I'm gonna get my money's worth
                    A
He said they never listen
                 E           F#
She said they'd never understand
                        A
That I don't this for pleasure
        E             F#
I just do it cause I can
                  A
I swear I didn't want to
        E              F#
And I swear I didn't know
                       A
That things like this could happen
     E       F#
To a 17-year old
 
 
[Chorus]
          D         A             E       F#m
And I've bundled up all of these fears inside
          D         A            E
And I've bottled up all of this pain
     D         A           E          F#m
And no one or nothing can take this away
       D            A       E
But I won't let it happen again
        F#    A    E    F#     A     F#
Never again
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#           A
 In the haze of a smoky room
     E                 F#
He chokes that bottle down
                             A
It's been a month since her saw her face
                              F#
Underneath the blood stained gown
                  A
He thinks about that little girl
        E          F#
And the one he has at home
                                A
And wonders, "What if that was my little girl
                         F#
Walking down that road alone?"
 
 
[Chorus]
          D         A             E       F#m
And I've bundled up all of these fears inside
          D         A            E
And I've bottled up all of this pain
     D         A           E          F#m
And no one or nothing can take this away
       D            A       E
But I won't let it happen again
        F#m    D    F#m
Never again
 D      F#m    D    F#m    E
Never again
 
 
[Instrumental]
| F#    A  | E    F#  | x2
 
 
[Bridge]
 F#              A           E           F#
Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside
                   A                     E               F#
But either way my soul is gone, And I'll end this all tonight
                      A                  E                 F#
The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun
                        A              E               F#
As he cries out to the heavens, "I am not my father's son"
 
 
[Chorus]
          D         A             E       F#m
And I've bundled up all of these fears inside
          D         A            E
And I've bottled up all of this pain
     D         A           E          F#m
And no one or nothing can take this away
       D            A       E
But I won't let it happen again
        F#m    D    F#m
Never again
 D      F#m    D    F#m    E
Never again
