|D                 |D                         |D/F#       |G                    |
   Summer went away,  still the yearning stays,  I play it cool with the best of
|D                     |D                     |D/F#   |G                   |
 them, I wait patiently,  he’s gonna notice me,  it’s ok, we’re the best of
|Bm      |A/C#   |
 friends, anyway

|D                        |D                              |D/F#        |G                    |
   I hear it in your voice,  you’re smoking with your boys,  I touch my phone as if it’s your
|D                              |D                       |D/F#         |G                    |
 face, I didn’t choose this town,  I dream of getting out, there’s just one who could make me
|Bm   |A/C#       |
 stay, all my days

|G               |A                     |D              |Bm             |
   From sprinkler splashes, to fireplace ashes, I waited ages to see you
|G                  |A               |D              |D/F#                |
 there, I search the party, of better bodies, just to learn that you never
|G                         |A                        |
 cared, you’re on your own, kid, you always have been

|D     |D     |

|D                       |D                   |D/F#          |G                  |
   I see the great escape,  so long, Daisy May,  I picked the petals, he loves me
|D                               |D                   |D/F#       |G                   |
 not, something different bloomed,  writing in my room,  I play my songs in the parking
|Bm       |A/C#    |
 lot, I’ll run away

|G               |A                     |D                |Bm             |
   From sprinkler splashes, to fireplace ashes, I called a taxi to take me
|G                  |A               |D              |D/F#                       |
 there, I search the party, of better bodies, just to learn that my dreams aren’t
|G                        |A                        |
 rare, you’re on your own, kid, you always have been

|G     |A     |D     |Bm       |
|G     |A     |D     |D/F#     |
|G     |A     |

|G               |A                     |D               |Bm                        |
   From sprinkler splashes, to fireplace ashes, I gave my blood, sweat and tears for
|G             |A                     |D                |D/F#              |
 this, I hosted parties and starved my body, like I’d be saved by a perfect
|G                      |A                |D                     |Bm                     |
 kiss, the jokes weren’t funny, I took the money, my friends from home don’t know what to
|G             |A                      |D                  |D/F#                 |
 say, I looked around in a blood-soaked gown, and I saw something they can’t take

|G                          |A                      |D                     |Bm                |
away, cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned, everything you lose is a step you
|G                           |A        |
 take, so make the friendship bracelets
                   |D                      |Bm          |
Take the moment and taste it, you’ve got no reason to be
|G                    |A       |G              |A        |
afraid, you’re on your own, kid,  yeah, you can face this
|G               |A                        |D   |
   You’re on your own, kid, you always have been
