[Intro] D  G  Bm  G

D
You take a deep breath and you
  G
Walk through the doors
            Bm                       G
Its the morning of your very first day
         D                            G
You say hi to your friends you aint seen in a while
              Bm                 G
Try and stay out of everybodys way
D                                   G
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
             Bm                     G
For the next four years in this town

Hoping one of those
D                 G
Senior boys will wink at you and say
            Bm                    G 
You know I haven't seen you around, before

                   D
'Cause when you're fifteen and
Bm                    A
 Somebody tells you they love you
                 G
 You're gonna believe them
                D
 And when you're fifteen
   A                    Bm             G
 Feeling like there's nothing to figure out
     Bm                  A
 Well count to ten, take it in
                         D                A     G
 This is life before you know who you're gonna be
A
 At fifteen

( D  G  Bm  G )

D
  I see the great escape, so long, Daisy May
Bm            G
   I picked the petals, he loves me not
D
  Something different bloomed, writing in my room
Bm         G                    Bm
   I play my songs in the parking lot
     A
I'll run away

G                A                    D
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
           Bm7             G
I called a taxi to take me there
             A               D
I search the party of better bodies
        Bm7                      G
Just to learn that my dreams aren't rare
               A
You're on your own, kid, you always have been

( G  A  D  Bm7 )
( G  A  D  Bm7 )
( G  A )

G          Bm                 A
When all you wanted was to be wanted

Wish you could go back
    D                  A        G
And tell yourself what you know now
Bm             A
What you know now

G                A                    D
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
          Bm7                        G
I gave my blood, sweat and tears for this
         A                      D
I hosted parties and starved my body
            Bm7                G
Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss
                  A                 D
The jokes weren't funny, I took the money
                Bm7                     G
My friends from home don't know what to say
          A                       D
I looked around in a blood-soaked gown
              Bm7                    G
And I saw something they can't take away
                        A
'Cause there were pages turned
                 D
With the bridges burned
               Bm7                G
Everything you lose is a step you take
                       A
So make the friendship bracelets
                    D
Take the moment and taste it
              Bm7           G
You've got no reason to be afraid
               A
You're on your own, kid

G              A
 Yeah, you can face this
G               A
 You're on your own, kid
                D
You always have been

( G  A )

              D
Your very first day
G
Take a deep breath girl
Bm
Take a deep breath as you
 G
Walk through the doors
