[Intro]
E A D A/C# x4
[Verse 1]
E A D
Remembering running
A/C#
through my yard
E A D A/C#
like a wild stream
E A D
Just a little kid, blood
A/C# E A D A/C#
flowing into my rosy cheeks
[Verse 2]
E A D
Now a river runs red from
A/C# E A D A/C#
my knuckles into the sink
E A
And there’s a pale girl
D A/C#
staring through the mirror at
E A
me Maybe it’s just a dream
D A/C#
Wish I could go back to sleep
[Instrumental]
E A D A/C# x2
[Verse 3]
E A D
Hydrangeas blooming of the
A/C# E A D A/C#
branches of park trees
E A
It’s a half-hearted calm
D
the way I’ve felt since
A/C# E A D A/C#
I was thirteen
[Verse 4]
E A
Cause I may not feel it now
D A/C#
covered up the wounds with my
E A D A/C#
long sleeves
E A
but I know it’s waiting there
D A/C#
swimming through my bloodstream
E A
and it’s gonna come for me
D A/C#
yeah it’s gonna come for me
[Instrumental]
E A D A/C# x2
[Chorus 1]
D C#m
What did you have that
F#m A
I didn’t? and why am I
A/C# D C#m
so blue? someone’s talking
F#m
in my forehead that says
A A/C# D
I’ll never be like you
C#m F#m
happiness is like a firefly
A D
on summer evenings feel it
C#m F#m
slipping through my fingers
A
but I can’t catch it in
D D
my hands catch it in my
[Instrumental]
E A D A/C# x2
[Verse 5]
E A D
Old memories ribbons running
A/C# E A D A/C#
down from my bare knees
E A D
I ran too fast fell down
A/C# E A D A/C#
on my face in the concrete
[Verse 6]
E A
I guess the lesson’s learned
D A/C#
I’ve barely left my room in
E A D A/C#
the past week
E A D
And I’ve got my guard up trying
A/C#
all the time to stay clean
E A
But I don’t feel anything
D A/C#
I don’t feel anything
[Instrumental]
E A D A/C# x2
[Chorus 2]
D C#m
What did you have that I
F#m A A/C# D
didn’t? and why am I so fucked?
C#m
There’s someone talking in my
F#m A
forehead that says I’ll never
A/C# D A/C#
be e----nough and happiness
F#m A
is like a firefly on summer
D C#m
evenings feel it slipping
F#m
through my fingers but I
A
can’t catch it in my
D
hands catch it in my
[Outro]
