¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
[Verse] Am* D* I'm nearing the end of my fourth year G* Em* I feel like I've been lacking crying too many tears Am* D* Everyone seemed to say it was so great G* Em* But did I miss out was it a huge mistake
AmD I can't help the fact I like to be alone GEm It might sound kinda sad but that's just what I seem to know AmD I tend to handle things usually by myself GEm And I can't ever seem to try and ask for help
[Chorus] AmD I'm sitting here crying in my prom dress GEm I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest AmD Makeup is running down feelings are all around GEm How did I get here I need to know
[Post-Chorus] AmD I guess I maybe had a couple expectations GEm I thought I'd get to them but no I didn't AmD I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun GEmAm But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run DGEm All I wanna do is run
[Verse] Am** D** I keep collections of masks upon my wall G** Em** To try and stop myself from revealing it all Am** D** Affecting others is the last thing I would do G** Em I keep to myself though I want to break through
[Verse] AmD I ache to be someone with guts and situations GEm But it’s been far too long now they all have foundations AmD I took too much time to try and settle in GEm I lost a couple friends before I could begin
Am* D* I seem so stuck upon the past GEm* I wish it played out differently Am* D* I’ve never been quite that good G* Em* I sit in silence miserably
[Verse] Am* D I hold so many small regrets GEm And what-ifs down inside my head AmD Some confidence it couldn't hurt me GEm My demeanor is often misread
[Chorus] AmD I'm sitting here crying in my prom dress GEm I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest AmD Makeup is running down feelings are all around GEm How did I get here I need to know
[Post-Chorus] AmD I guess I maybe had a couple expectations GEm Thought I'd get to them but no I didn't AmD I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun GEmAm But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
[Bridge] DGEmAm All I wanna do is ru-un all I wanna do is run DGEm All I wanna do is run AmDGEm All I wanna do is run AmDGEmAmDGEm Oo-oh oo-oo-oh all I wanna do is run AmDGEmDGEm Oo-oo-oh oo-oo-oh all I wanna do is run AmDGEm All I wanna do is run
[Chorus] AmD I'm sitting here crying in my prom dress all I wanna do is run GEm I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest all I wanna do is run AmD Makeup is running down feelings are all around all I wanna do is run GEm How did I get here I need to know all I wanna do is run
[Post-Chorus] AmD I guess I maybe had a couple expectations all I wanna do is run GEm Thought I'd get to them but no I didn't all I wanna do is run
[Outro] AmD I guess I’ve never really been that type of person all I wanna do is run GEm I crumple easily conditions start to worsen all I wanna do is run Am* D* I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun G* Em* Am* But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run D* G* All I wanna do is run
