[Verse 1]
G C
At the back of a slingshot
D G
Hoping there's no rot in the wood
C D
Hoping the books I read were good enough for their morals
[Verse 2]
G C
At the back of a school bus
D G
Knowing I'm late to get home
C D
Not used to being on my own, trying to be normal
[Chorus]
Em G
But I guess I'm going
C G
Or I'm dying
Em G C
And I'm finding out
[Verse 3]
G C
At the end of a bad knot
D G
Hoping there's slack in the rope
C D
Hoping there's somewhere to go through the fog at my feet
[Verse 4]
G C
Signing off on a letter
D G
As it replaces the wine
C D
Praying it's read just one time and not lost at sea
[Chorus]
Em G
But I guess I'm going
C G
Or I'm dying
Em G C
And I'm finding out
[Bridge]
C (x8)
C D G C (x4)
[Verse 5]
C D
i've been looking at myself
G C
and i've been waiting for a reaction
C D
nothing, from the reflection
G C
it's just a kid in circular glasses
[Verse 6]
C D
running, running from lightning
G C
waiting for thunder under her dad's wing
C
i would,
D
(just to be back there)
G C
i would do, i would do something
[Verse 7]
C D
i've been staring at myself
G C
and i've been waiting for an infraction
C D
something to make me feel better
G C
about being better than i once had been
[Verse 8]
C D
running, running from lightning
G C
waiting inside for something to happen
C D
missing, and never risking rain
G C
for the sake of staying in fashion
