C
Everybody told you it's a cold, cruel world
                    Dm
But you ain't believe in it, you're an independent girl
                        C
Till you left your hometown and you straightened your curls
                               Dm
When the strings you used to ride along were cut and unfurled
                                 C
And I was I sure that you were nothing short of ignorant

Failure always imminent

      Dm
The kind of girl who stumbles through her life, a village idiot
     C
But oh I was wrong, 'thought I had you pinned and ended it
     Dm
So now when you walk by I try to analyze like Benedict
C
Searching for a clue to solve the plague this question brings to me
    Dm
The wrinkles on your sweater, or the way your clothes lack synergy
C
A scuff you never buffed away, nothing's what it seems to be
Dm
We've both been missing something since I lost the gift of empathy, and

C
You the reason I'm on fire
                          Dm
You the reason I've been burning down these bridges

Water tumbles like the dryer
C
You're the reason I still cry
                        Dm
You the reason I still stare outside my window trynna re-support the sky

C
Once I left this town where we grew up
Dm
I didn’t think that everything would be so tough but
C
All the strangers on the street who are in love (ay)
Dm
They remind me of the thing I want the most cause
C
When I listen to all our favorite songs it's
Dm
Hard to imagine things would ever get so wrong but
C
Maybe baby one day you’ll see
Dm
That I belong to you and you belong to me

C
You the reason I'm on fire
                           Dm
You the reason I've been burning down these bridges

Water tumbles like the dryer
C
You the reason I still cry
                         Dm
You the reason I still stare outside my window trynna re-support the sky
