E A D A/C#  x4
 
 
[Verse 1]
E   A         D
  Remembering running
           A/C#
through my yard
        E         A D A/C#
like a wild stream
E        A           D
  Just a little kid, blood
        A/C#    E          A D A/C#
flowing into my rosy cheeks
 
 
[Verse 2]
E       A          D
  Now a river runs red from
   A/C#       E          A D A/C#
my knuckles into the sink
E               A
  And there’s a pale girl
 D                  A/C#
staring through the mirror at
  E           A
me Maybe it’s just a dream
D              A/C#
  Wish I could go back to sleep
 
 
[Instrumental]
E A D A/C#  x2
 
 
[Verse 3]
E   A        D
  Hydrangeas blooming of the
A/C#        E         A D A/C#
branches of park trees
E             A
  It’s a half-hearted calm
    D
the way I’ve felt since
A/C#          E A D A/C#
I was thirteen
 
 
[Verse 4]
E                 A
  Cause I may not feel it now
D              A/C#
covered up the wounds with my
E           A D A/C#
long sleeves
E                 A
  but I know it’s waiting there
D                   A/C#
swimming through my bloodstream
E                A
  and it’s gonna come for me
D                 A/C#
  yeah it’s gonna come for me

[Chorus 1]
D          C#m
  What did you have that
  F#m         A
I didn’t? and why am I
A/C# D               C#m
so   blue? someone’s talking
       F#m
in my forehead that says
     A        A/C# D
I’ll never be like you
     C#m            F#m
happiness is like a firefly
   A              D
on summer evenings feel it
 C#m                F#m
slipping through my fingers
            A
but I can’t catch it in
   D     D
my hands catch it in my
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
E     A        D
  Old memories ribbons running
A/C#         E         A D A/C#
down from my bare knees
E       A        D
  I ran too fast fell down
      A/C#        E       A D A/C#
on my face in the concrete
 
 
[Verse 6]
E             A
  I guess the lesson’s learned
     D              A/C#
I’ve barely left my room in
    E        A D A/C#
the past week
E                 A        D
  And I’ve got my guard up trying
        A/C#
all the time to stay clean
E                  A
  But I don’t feel anything
D              A/C#
  I don’t feel anything

  What did you have that I
F#m         A        A/C# D
didn’t? and why am I so   fucked?
                C#m
There’s someone talking in my
F#m                     A
forehead that says I’ll never
   A/C# D              A/C#
be e----nough and happiness
          F#m        A
is like a firefly on summer
        D         C#m
evenings feel it slipping
           F#m
through my fingers but I
      A
can’t catch it in my
D
hands catch it in my
