You're On Your Own, Kid

	  		 

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

F2               G                    C 
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes 
         Am7             F2    
I waited ages to see you there 
             G               C 
I search the party of better bodies 
        Am7/E                F 
Just to learn that you never cared 
               G                         C 
You're on your own, kid, you always have been 

C 
 I see the great escape, so long, Daisy May 
Em            F 
 I picked the petals, he loves me not 
C 
 Something different bloomed, writing in my room 
Em         F                    Am 
 I play my songs in the parking lot 
     G/B 
I'll run away 

F2               G                    C 
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes 
           Am7             F2    
I called a taxi to take me there 
             G               C 
I search the party of better bodies 
        Am7/E                       F2    
Just to learn that my dreams aren't rare 
               G 
You're on your own, kid, you always have been

F2               G                    C 
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes 
          Am7                        F2    
I gave my blood, sweat and tears for this 
         G                      C 
I hosted parties and starved my body 
            Am7/E              F2    
Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss 
                  G                 C 
The jokes weren't funny, I took the money 
                Am7                     F2    
My friends from home don't know what to say 
          G                       C 
I looked around in a blood-soaked gown 
              Am7/E                  F2    
And I saw something they can't take away 
                        G 
'Cause there were pages turned 
                 C 
With the bridges burned 
               Am7                F2    
Everything you lose is a step you take 
                       G 
So make the friendship bracelets 
                    C 
Take the moment and taste it 
              Am7           F2    
You've got no reason to be afraid 
               G 
You're on your own, kid 

F2             G 
 Yeah, you can face this 
F2              G 
 You're on your own, kid 
                C 
You always have been
