BUTTERCUP: Hippo Campus
 
[Intro Chorus]
 
E                   A
I’ll be fine on my own, she said, I don’t need you inside my head
E
(She’ll be fine on her own, she’ll be fine on her own)
E                                               A
I'll be fine on my own, she said, all my love's wrapped in shades of red
E
(She’ll be fine on her own, she’ll be fine on her own)
 
 
 [Verse 1]
 
A                                              E
No holds barred in the ring so you’ll fight me
        F#m               A                    E
Give 'em hell, give 'em teeth like you taught me
        F#m               A                    E
Tireless mess, seeking thrills getting bitey
A                    E
When I'm in doubt
 
A                               E
Pudgy face kissing lace in the backseat
        F#m           A             E
Wrinkled toss of the coin that I can't see
        F#m         A              E
Don't forget I have you to be like me
        F#m          A           E
Where around is enough for a family
 
 [Chorus]
 
E                   A
I’ll be fine on my own, she said, I don’t need you inside my head
E
(She’ll be fine on her own, she’ll be fine on her own)
E                   A
I'll be fine on my own, she said, all my love's wrapped in shades of red
E
(She’ll be fine on her own, she’ll be fine on her own)
 
 [Verse 2]
*quiet
A                                       E
Growing pains splaying rain on the high sea
        F#m                A            E
Scale a tree, snap a branch so you can't leave
        F#m               A               E
On the ground, lost and found, understand me
        F#m           A                   E
Putting words in my mouth, trying to get free
 
*heavy
A                                   E
Solid punch kind of eyes make ‘em wobbly
        F#m          A             E
Gothic vine growing fire in the lobby
        F#m       A             E
Lighten up, Buttercup, get a hobby
        F#m         A               E
Yeah swing, sucker swing, finish sobbing
 
 
 [Bridge]
 
E                                       A
She’ll be fine on her own... she’ll be fine on her own
E
She’ll be fine on her own, she said
 
 — *build up
 
 [Verse 3]
 
A                               E
I'll be fine, I'm alright, it’s my body
        F#m           A                E
Gonna stick to my guns, like you taught me
        F#m       A                    E
Holy hell, I can tell that you hate me
        F#m        A                    E
Dying moon, keep me up, keep me waiting
 
   A                                E
I'll be fine, I'm alright, it’s my body
        F#m        A                    E
Gonna stick to my guns, like you taught me
        F#m      A                    E
Holy hell, I can tell that you hate me
        F#m      A                    E
Dying moon, keep me up, keep me waiting
— Dying moon, keep me up keep me waiting

I think you should listen to the song before writing tabs to it.

ok effort appreciated, now please correct your mistakes. I was a bit harsh, but that's no excuse for writing an inaccurate score. start the verse on an E and go from there.
