[Verse 1] ~
Cm                     F
I'm nearing the end of my fourth year
Bb                               Gm
I feel like I've been lacking, crying too many tears
Cm                     F
Everyone seemed to say it was so great
Bb                       Gm
But did I miss out? Was it a huge mistake?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus] ~
Cm                        F
I can't help the fact I like to be alone
Bb                               Gm
It might sound kinda sad, but that's just what I seem to know
Cm                         F
I tend to handle things usually by myself
Bb                         Gm
And I can't ever seem to try and ask for help
 
 
[Chorus] ~
Cm                F
I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress
Bb                         Gm
I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Cm                        F
Make-up is running down, feelings are all around
Bb                  Gm
How did I get here? I need to know
Cm                     F
I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
Bb                           Gm
I thought I'd get to them, but no, I didn't
Cm                           F
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
Bb                                         Gm
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Cm F                     Bb Gm
    All I wanna do is run
 
 
[Verse 2]~
Cm                      f
I keep collections of masks upon my wall
Bb                            Gm
To try and stop myself from revealing it all
Cm                            F
Affecting others is the last thing I would do
Bb                          Gm
I keep to myself though I want to break through
Cm                         F
I hate to be someone with guts and situations
Bb                                Gm
But it’s been far too long, now, they all have foundations
Cm                       F
I took too much time to try and settle in
Bb                               Gm
I lost a couple friends before I could begin
 
[Bridge] *
Cm                        F
I seem so stuck upon the past
Bb                      Gm
I wish it played out differently
Cm                         F
I’ve never been quite that good
Bb                  Gm
I sit in silence miserably
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]^
Cm                      F
I hold so many small regrets
 Bb                         Gm
And what-ifs down inside my head
Cm                            F
Some confidence, it couldn't hurt me
Bb *                   Gm *
My demeanor is often misread
 
 
[Chorus] ~
Cm                F
I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress
Bb                         Gm
I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Cm                        F
Make-up is running down, feelings are all around
Bb                   Gm
How did I get here? I need to know
Cm                     F

Cm                           F
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
Bb                                         Gm
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run

I thought I'd get to them, but no, I didn't
Cm                          F
I guess I’ve never really been that type of person
Bb                       Gm
I crumple easily, conditions start to worsen
Cm                               F
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
Bb                                         Gm
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
 
 
[Post-Chorus]*

   All I wanna do is run
