[Verse 1]
 F
Mama always told me don't you run
                        Dm
"Don't you run with scissors, son
C              F
You're gonna hurt someone"
F
Mama told me look before you leap
                Dm        C                    F                   
Always think before you speak, and watch the friends you keep

[Pre-Chorus]
 B                            C               
Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said

[Chorus]
F      C      Dm       C      Gm
Sharp edges have consequences, I
           C         Dm            F
Guess that I had to find out for myself
F      C      Dm       C       Gm
Sharp edges have consequences, now
       C         Dm            F
Every scar is a story I can tell

[Instrumental]
C F

[Verse 2]
 F
Should've played it safer from the start
                  Dm
Loved you like a house of cards
C       F
Let it fall apart
F
But all the things I couldn't understand
                  Dm
Never could've planned
 C            F         
They made me who I am
 B
Put your nose on paperbacks
C
Instead of smoking cigarettes
F
These are years you're never getting back

[Pre-Chorus]
 B                            C               
Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said

[Chorus]
F      C      Dm       C      Gm
Sharp edges have consequences, I
           C         Dm            F
Guess that I had to find out for myself
F      C      Dm       C       Gm
Sharp edges have consequences, now
       C         Dm            F
Every scar is a story I can tell

[Bridge]
     C       Dm
We all fall down
     C       Gm  
We live somehow
     C          Dm                           F
We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
     C       Dm
We all fall down
     C       Gm  
We live somehow
     C          Dm                           F
We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
C       Dm   C       Gm   C       Dm  
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
 B                            C               
Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said

[Chorus]
F      C      Dm       C      Gm
Sharp edges have consequences, I
           C         Dm            F
Guess that I had to find out for myself
F      C      Dm       C       Gm
Sharp edges have consequences, now
       C         Dm            F
Every scar is a story I can tell

[Outro]
     C       Dm
We all fall down
     C       Gm  
We live somehow
     C          Dm                           F
We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
     C       Dm
We all fall down
     C       Gm  
We live somehow
     C          Dm                           F
We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
C       Dm   C       Gm   C       Dm  
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
