Eb  Ab  Eb


[Verse 1]
Eb
Summer went away,
still the yearning
 stays
Gm         Ab
I play it cool with
the best of them
Eb
I wait patiently,
 he's
 gonna notice me
Gm     Ab
It's okay, we're
 the
         Cm
best of friends
Gm/D
Anyway
Eb
I hear it in
 your
 voice,
 you're
smokin' with
your boys
Gm
I touch my
 Ab
phone as
if it's your
 face
Eb
I didn't choose
 this
town, I dream
of getting
out
Gm
 There's just
Ab
one who
could make
    Cm
me stay
Gm/D
All my days

[Chorus]
Ab           Bb
 From sprinkler
splashes
         Eb
to fireplace ashes
         Cm
I waited ages to
        Ab
see you there
             Bb
I search the party
          Eb
of better bodies
        Cm
Just to learn that
       Ab
you never cared
               Bb
You're on your own,
 kid,
                Eb
you always have been
Eb


[Transition]
Ab        Eb
Fatefully, I
tried to pi
Cm
ck my battles
         Bb
'til the battle
 picked me
Ab      Eb
 Misery, like
    Cm
the war
of words I
Bb
shouted in my
 sleep
Ab       Eb
 And you passed
right by
Cm
I was in the
alley,
   Bb
surrounded on
all sides
Ab         Eb
 The knife cuts
 both ways
       Cm
If the shoe fits,
 walk in it
 Bb
'til your high
 heels break


[Chorus]
Ab
 And I fell
         Eb
from the pedestal
Right down the
Cm
rabbit hole
           Bb
Long story short,
Cm
it was a bad time
Ab
 Pushed from the
Eb
precipices
Clung to the
Cm
nearest lips
           Bb
Long story short,
it was the wrong
 guy
Ab       Eb
 Now I'm all
 about you
Cm   Bb
 I'm all about
you, ah
Eb     Ab
 Yeah, yeah,
      Bb
yeah, yeah
    Eb
I'm all about
 you, ah
      Ab
Yeah, yeah,
      Gm  Eb
yeah, yeah


[Bridge]
Cm  Bb
 No more
        Ab
keepin' score
Now I just keep
you warm
Cm   Bb
 No more tug
    Ab
of war
Now I just
know there's
more
Cm  Bb
 No more
        Ab
keepin' score
Now I just keep
 you warm
Cm      Bm
 And my waves
          Ab
         Bb
Ever and evermore
Bb


[Verse 3]
Ab       Eb
 Past me, I
      Cm
wanna tell
 you not to get
Bb
lost in these
petty thingsmeet
your shore
Ab           Eb
 Your nemeses, will
  Cm
defeat themselves
  Bb
before you get the
chance to swing
Ab        Eb
 And he's passing by
Cm
Rare as the
glimmer of
  Bb
a comet in the
 sky
Ab      Eb
 And he feels like
 home
       Cm
If the shoe fits
, walk in it
 Bb
 everywhere you go
Bb

[Transition 2]
Ab
From sprinkler
Bb
splashes to
         Eb
fireplace ashes
          Cm
I gave my blood,
 sweat
              Ab
and tears for this
         Bb
I hosted parties
and
           Eb
starved my body
            Cm
Like I'd be saved
             Ab
by a perfect kiss
The jokes weren't
Bb
funny, I took
    Eb
the money
My friends
from
Cm
home don't
             Ab
know what to say
         Bb
I looked around
 in a
             Eb
blood-soaked gown
              Cm
And I saw something
they can't
     Ab
take away
'Cause there were
      Bb
pages turned
With the bridges
Eb
burned
Everything
     Cm
 you lose
              Ab
is a step you take
So make the
friendship
Bb
bracelets
Take the moment
    Eb
and taste it
You've got no
Cm
reason to
     Ab
be afraid
You're on your
Bb
own, kid
Ab
 Yeah, you can
Bb
face this
Ab
 You're on your
 Bb
own, kid, you
always have been.
Cm
 Long story
Bb
short, I survived
