[Verse 1]
D/C         C                     D/C
Children in bloom, cooking in the sun

              C
Waiting for a room of our own

D/C                  C
Leave my sister alone
She doesn't deserve this
    D/C                    C
She is a flower and I am a flower

                 Am7
And we are all alone
[Chorus]
   G                  D    Cadd9 Am7
I gotta get out on my own

  G                      D        Cadd9          Am7
I gotta get up from this waiting, waiting at home

  G                     D
I gotta get out of this sunlight

     Cadd9      Am7
It's melting my bones

  G                      D                Cadd9
I gotta get up from this slumber and just get myself home
[Verse 2]
D/C                      C
All these wasted dreams

                        D/C
Just waiting for the sun to open

      C
To open up my heart to anyone

D/C           C
Bring me some rain

               D/C
Because I'm dying, I'm dying

            C                      Am7
And I can't get this damn thing closed again
[Chorus]
   G                  D    Cadd9 Am7
I gotta get out on my own

  G                      D        Cadd9          Am7
I gotta get up from this waiting, waiting at home

  G                     D
I gotta get out of this sunlight

     Cadd9      Am7
It's melting my bones

  G                      D                Cadd9
I gotta get up from this slumber and just get myself home

D/C                        C
Where's the fun house this year?

        D/C                             C
The fairground's deserted and the skies don't seem as near

    D/C                C
But Nicole's my oldest friend

        D/C                             C                  Am7
But the altar is empty and she'll never be a little girl again
[Chorus]
   G                  D    Cadd9 Am7
I gotta get out on my own

  G                      D        Cadd9          Am7
I gotta get up from this waiting, waiting at home

  G                     D
I gotta get out of this sunlight

     Cadd9      Am7
It's melting my bones

  G                      D                Cadd9
I gotta get up from this slumber and just get myself
