Summer went away, still the yearning stays

I play it cool with the best of them

Eb
I wait patiently, he's gonna notice me

Gm     Ab                     Cm
It's okay, we're the best of friends

Gm/D
Anyway

Eb
I hear it in your voice, you're smokin' with your boys

I touch my phone as if it's your face

Eb
I didn't choose this town, I dream of getting out

Gm            Ab                     Cm
 There's just one who could make me stay

Gm/D
All my days
[Chorus]
Ab           Bb                   Eb
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes

         Cm              Ab
I waited ages to see you there

             Bb              Eb
I search the party of better bodies

        Cm                Ab
Just to learn that you never cared

               Bb                        Eb
You're on your own, kid, you always have been
Eb [Transition]
Ab        Eb          Cm                       Bb
Fatefully, I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me

Ab      Eb        Cm             Bb
 Misery, like the war of words I shouted in my sleep

Ab       Eb
 And you passed right by

Cm                     Bb
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides

Ab         Eb
 The knife cuts both ways

       Cm                     Bb
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break
[Chorus]
Ab                   Eb
 And I fell from the pedestal

               Cm
Right down the rabbit hole

           Bb
Long story short, it was a bad time

Ab               Eb
 Pushed from the precipices

             Cm
Clung to the nearest lips

           Bb
Long story short, it was the wrong guy

Ab       Eb
 Now I'm all about you

Cm   Bb
 I'm all about you, ah

Eb     Ab          Bb
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Eb
I'm all about you, ah

      Ab          Gm  Eb
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Cm  Bb           Ab
 No more keepin' score
Now I just keep you warm
Cm   Bb          Ab
 No more tug of war
Now I just know there's more
Cm  Bb           Ab
 No more keepin' score
Now I just keep you warm
Cm      Bm              Ab
 And my waves meet your shore

         Bb
Ever and evermore
Bb [Verse 3]
Ab       Eb       Cm                  Bb
 Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things

Ab           Eb       Cm                Bb
 Your nemeses, will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing

Ab        Eb
 And he's passing by

Cm                       Bb
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky

Ab      Eb
 And he feels like home

       Cm                    Bb
If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go
Bb [Transition 2]
Ab             Bb                   Eb
From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes

          Cm                         Ab
I gave my blood, sweat and tears for this

         Bb                     Eb
I hosted parties and starved my body

            Cm                 Ab
Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss

                  Bb                Eb
The jokes weren't funny, I took the money

                Cm                      Ab
My friends from home don't know what to say

         Bb                       Eb
I looked around in a blood-soaked gown

              Cm                    Ab
And I saw something they can't take away

                        Bb
'Cause there were pages turned

                 Eb
With the bridges burned

               Cm                 Ab
Everything you lose is a step you take

                       Bb
So make the friendship bracelets

                    Eb
Take the moment and taste it

              Cm             Ab
You've got no reason to be afraid

               Bb
You're on your own, kid

Ab             Bb
 Yeah, you can face this

Ab               Bb
 You're on your own, kid, you always have been.

Cm          Bb          N.C.
 Long story short, I survived
