[Intro]
Am D G Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am                       D7
  I'm nearing the end of my fourth year
G                             Em
  I feel like I've been lacking crying too many tears
Am                          D7
  Everyone seemed to say it was so great
G                        Em
  But did I miss out was it a huge mistake
Am                        D7
  I can't help the fact I like to be alone
G                               Em
  It might sound kinda sad, but that's just what I seem to know
Am                        D7
  I tend to handle things usually by myself
G                          Em
  And I can't ever seem to try and ask for help
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                  D7
  I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress
G                          Em
  I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Am                       D7
  Makeup is running down, feelings are all around
G                      Em
  How did I get here I need to know
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                      D7
  I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
G                         Em
  Thought I'd get to them, but no I didn't
Am                                D7
  I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
            G                             Em
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                      D7
  I keep collections of masks upon my wall
G                            Em
  To try and stop myself from revealing it all
Am                        D7
  Affecting others is the last thing I would do
G                           Em
  I keep to myself though I want to break through
Am                       D7
  I hold so many small regrets
G                            Em
  And what-ifs down inside my head
Am                            D7
  Some confidence it couldn't hurt me
G                Em
  My demeanor is often misread
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                  D7
  I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress
G                          Em
  I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Am                       D7
  Makeup is running down, feelings are all around
G                      Em
  How did I get here I need to know
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                      D7
  I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
G                         Em
  Thought I'd get to them, but no I didn't
Am                                D7
  I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
             G                            Em
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
Am  D                   G  Em
      All I wanna do is run
                  Am  D7
All I wanna do is run
                 G
All I wanna do is run
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                  D7
  I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress
G                          Em
  I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Am                       D7
  Makeup is running down, feelings are all around
G                      Em
  How did I get here I need to know
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                      D7
  I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
G                         Em
  Thought I'd get to them, but no I didn't
Am                                D7
  I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
            G                             Em
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
Am  D7                 G
     all I wanna do is run

Hi! I’m playing this tab and I love it! The only thing I would change, is that I believe that every chord that is marked “C” should actually be an “Am”. Other than that, great, and thanks for doing it.

i’m listening to this song and think there’s a little error before she repeats the chorus for the final time. she says “and all i wanna do is run” a few more times
