[Verse] EbF I'm nearing the end of my fourth year BbGm I feel like I've been lacking crying too many tears EbF Everyone seemed to say it was so great BbGm But did I miss out was it a huge mistake
EbF I can't help the fact I like to be alone BbGm It might sound kinda sad but that's just what I seem to know EbF I tend to handle things usually by myself BbGm And I can't ever seem to try and ask for help
[Chorus] Csus4F I'm sitting here crying in my prom dress BbGm I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest Csus4F Makeup is running down feelings are all around BbGm How did I get here I need to know
[Post-Chorus] CmF I guess I maybe had a couple expectations BbGm Thought I'd get to them but no I didn't CmF I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun BbGm But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
[Verse] EbF I keep collections of masks upon my wall BbGm To try and stop myself from revealing it all EbF Affecting others is the last thing I would do BbGm I keep to myself though I want to break through
EbF I hold so many small regrets BbGm And what-ifs down inside my head EbF Some confidence it couldn't hurt me BbGm My demeanor is often misread
[Chorus] Csus4F I'm sitting here crying in my prom dress BbGm I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest Csus4F Makeup is running down feelings are all around BbGm How did I get here I need to know
[Post-Chorus] CmF I guess I maybe had a couple expectations BbGm Thought I'd get to them but no I didn't CmF I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun BbGmCm But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
[Bridge] FBbGmCm All I wanna do is ru-un all I wanna do is run FBbGm All I wanna do is run
[Chorus] Csus4F I'm sitting here crying in my prom dress BbGm I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest Csus4F Makeup is running down feelings are all around BbGm How did I get here I need to know
[Post-Chorus] CmF I guess I maybe had a couple expectations BbGm Thought I'd get to them but no I didn't
[Outro] CmF I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun BbGmCm But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run FBb All I wanna do is run
