[Verse 1]
B    A      D                 Dmaj7        B           A D Dmaj7
Remembering running through my yard like a wild stream
B      A           D             Dmaj7  B          A D Dmaj7
Just a little kid, blood flowing into my rosy cheeks
B    A           D           Dmaj7      B          A D Dmaj7
Now a river runs red from my knuckles into the sink
B             A         D                   Dmaj7       B
And there's a pale girl staring through the mirror at me
           A             D             Dmaj7
Maybe it's just a dream, wish I could go back to sleep
 
B A D Dmaj7 x2
 
[Verse 2]
B    A     D                Dmaj7       B         A D Dmaj7
Hydrangeas blooming off the branches of park trees
B            A                D                   Dmaj7           B A D Dmaj7
It's a half-hearted calm, the way I've felt since I was thirteen
B                 A           D              Dmaj7          B           A D Dmaj7
'Cause I may not feel it now, covered up the wounds with my long sleeves
B               A               D                  Dmaj7
But I know it's waiting there, swimming through my bloodstream
B              A             D              Dmaj7
And it's gonna come for me, yeah it's gonna come for me
 
B A D Dmaj7 x2
 
[Chorus]
D2       C#              F#
What did you have that I didn't?
    E
And why am I so blue?
D2         C#           F#
Someone's talking in my forehead
                 E
That says, "I'll never be like you"
D2    C#            F#         E
Happiness is like a firefly on summer free evenings
D2      C#                  F#
Feel it slipping through my fingers
            E              D
But I can't catch it in my hands
         Dmaj7
Catch it in my

[Verse 3]
B    A         D              Dmaj7        B           A D Dmaj7
Old memories, ribbons running down from my bare knees
B      A        D               Dmaj7       B         A D Dmaj7
I ran too fast, fell down on my face in the concrete
B            A                     D              Dmaj7       B         A D Dmaj7
I guess the lesson's learned, I've barely left my room in the past week
B                A       D              Dmaj7        B
And I've got my guard up trying all the time to stay clean
                 A         D            Dmaj7
But I don't feel anything, I don't feel anything
 
B A D Dmaj7 x2
 
[Chorus]
D2       C#              F#
What did you have that I didn't?
    E
And why am I so fucked?
D2              C#            F#
There's someone talking in my forehead
                 E
That says, "I'll never be enough"
    D2   C#             F#         E
And happiness is like a firefly on summer evenings
D2      C#                 F#
Feel it slipping through my fingers
            E              D
But I can't catch it in my hands
         Dmaj7
Catch it in my
