Wasted Potential

E
Past 10, and I'm in my notes app
Esus4                              
Crying again, push another sinking 
C#m
feeling again
                             Esus4
Spell out the words you know I'll 
never say
E
Arcade full of games you know you're
 rigged to lose
Esus4
It's my future the bad guys get to 
choose
C#m                           
It's exhausting never knowing what 
Esus4
comes next and always showing


[Chorus 1]
E
Signs of a girl with the wasted 
potential
Esus4
Watch what she does with her brain 
instead of med school
C#m
She could be a doctor, she could be 
a lawyer
    Esus4
But what is she to do with a beat-up
 guitar, oh


[Verse 2]
E
E
Burned out, seeing right through my 
ghost
Esus4                      
Tell me when it'll feel like 
               C#m
everything's fallen in place (Fallen
 in place)
                       Esus4
Don't have her beauty, I don't have 
her face (Don't have her face)
E
Reflect on a life I could've led
Esus4
Their doubt living rent free in my 
head
C#m
Rosy cheeks, red carpet streets
     Esus4
They shine so bright, but they won't
 ever shine for me

[Chorus 2]
E
Signs of a girl with the wasted 
potential
Esus4
Watch what she does with her brain 
instead of med school
C#m
She could be a doctor, she could be 
a lawyer
    Esus4
But what is she to do with a beat-up
 guitar, oh
    E
And what will she do when the dream 
doesn't pan out
Esus4
Waiting on tables to pay for her 
rent now
C#m
Tell me what's the back up, after 
all this dreaming
Esus4
Girl, you need a real job, I don't 
know what you're thinking


[Pre-Chorus]
E
Built my whole life on being the one
 out of a million
Esus4                        C#m
Caught in a Hollywood scheme

But I've got the green light
            Esus4
Baby, let's burn this scene
E
Signs of a girl
Esus4
Signs of a girl
C#m
Signs of a girl
Esus4
Signs of a girl
C#m
Hung up on a daydream, pining just 
like Gatsby
Esus4
Drowning out the noise cause you'll 
never really know me


[Chorus 3]
E
Signs of a girl with the wasted 
potential (Uh oh)
Esus4
Watch what she does with her brain 
instead of med school (Brain instead
 of med school)
C#m
Didn't need a backup, after all this
 dreaming
Esus4
I can see it clearly


[Otro]

(Coulda been)
E
Cause I know me

(Woulda been)
              Esus4                
And I believe nothing's too far out
    C#m
 of reach

(Coulda been)

If superstars

(Woulda been)

Have blue guitars
Esus4                      E
Then it's calling, calling me

(Coulda been, coulda been, coulda 
been a doctor)
Esus4
(Woulda been, woulda been, woulda 
been but not her)
               C#m
No, no but not her

(Look again, look again, look again,
 she's smarter)
                      Esus4
Look again, she's smarter

(Look and then, look and then)
                     E
Watch what she does, oh
