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
