Prom Dress

Am*                    D*
I'm nearing the end of my fourth year
G*                             Em*
I feel like I've been lacking, crying too many tears
Am*                       D*
Everyone seemed to say it was so great
G*                      Em*
But did I miss out, was it a huge mistake

Am                      D
I can't help the fact I like to be alone
G                             Em
It might sound kinda sad, but that's just what I seem to know
Am                      D
I tend to handle things usually by myself
G                        Em
And I can't ever seem to try and ask for help

[Chorus]
Am                D
I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress
G                        Em
I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Am                      D
Makeup is running down, feelings are all around
G                     Em
How did I get here, I need to know

[Post-Chorus]
Am                    D
I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
  G                        Em
I thought I'd get to them, but no I didn't
Am                              D
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
            G                              Em          Am
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
D                  G   Em
 All I wanna do is run

[Verse]
Am**                  D**
I keep collections of masks upon my wall
   G**                      Em**
To try and stop myself from revealing it all
Am**                    D**
Affecting others is the last thing I would do
  G**                     Em
I keep to myself though I want to break through

[Verse]
Am                        D
I ache to be someone with guts and situations
G                               Em
But it’s been far too long now, they all have foundations
Am                      D
I took too much time to try and settle in
G                         Em
I lost a couple friends before I could begin

Am*                      D*
I seem so stuck upon the past
G*                             Em*
I wish it played out differently
Am*                        D*
I’ve never been quite that good
G*                      Em*
I sit in silence miserably

[Verse]
Am*                      D
I hold so many small regrets
G                          Em
And what-ifs down inside my head
Am                          D
Some confidence it couldn't hurt me
G              Em
My demeanor is often misread

[Chorus]
Am                D
I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress
G                       Em
I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Am                      D
Makeup is running down, feelings are all around
G                    Em
How did I get here, I need to know

[Post-Chorus]
Am                    D
I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
G                       Em
Thought I'd get to them, but no I didn't
Am                              D
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
            G                              Em             Am
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run

[Bridge]
D                   G  Em                    Am
  All I wanna do is ru-un, all I wanna do is run
D                   G  Em
  All I wanna do is run
Am D                  G  Em
   (All I wanna do is run)
Am  D  G Em  Am        D           G  Em
Oo-oh, oo-oo-oh (all I wanna do is run)
Am    D   G   Em   D                  G  Em
Oo-oo-oh, oo-oo-oh (all I wanna do is run)
Am D                  G  Em
   (All I wanna do is run)

[Chorus]
Am                D
I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress (all I wanna do is run)
G                        Em
I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest (all I wanna do is run)
Am                      D
Makeup is running down, feelings are all around (all I wanna do is run)
G                     Em
How did I get here, I need to know (all I wanna do is run)

[Post-Chorus]
Am                    D
I guess I maybe had a couple expectations (all I wanna do is run)
G                       Em
Thought I'd get to them, but no I didn't (all I wanna do is run)

[Otro]
Am                        D
I guess I’ve never really been that type of person (all I wanna do is run)
G                   Em
I crumple easily, conditions start to worsen (all I wanna do is run)
Am*                             D*
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
            G*                             Em*         Am*
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
D*                  G*
  All I wanna do is run
