Alone

[Primera Parte]

Dm
Eight years old and he's kicking and
 screaming
Bb
I'll only go to school if you give 
me a reason
F                            
The kids are really mean and I 
                       Am
already know all the things they're 
teaching
Dm
Hopped in the car mama let him play 
hookey
Bb
Missed the first hour just to get a 
cup of cof
F                                 
She'€™s the only one who saw who 
            Am
he was, no one else could read him
Dm
Showing up late but he makes it to 
class
        Bb
Just to stare out the window and the
 clock in the back
   F
He daydreamed away to a sky so gray
Am
Everything's simple, it's driving 
him mental
Dm
Wishing every day that something 
would change
Bb
Instead his dad makes him play ball 
by the bay
F
And every time he cries, father 
rolls his eyes saying
Am
Son it's all your fault, how come 
you never try?

[Pre-Estribillo]

Gm
He does all that he should

Am                A
Why is he misunderstood?

[Estribillo]

Dm
This is a story 'bout a broken boy
         Bb
With his headphones in just to block
 out the noise
   F                               
Of everyone around him telling him 
           A
the way to go
                      Dm
So he walks the world alone, 
Wondering if it gets better
   Bb
Or if he's always gonna feel empty 
forever
F                                 
So he gets lost tryna find another
          A
 way back home
                      Dm
As he walks the world alone

Dm
Fifteen years and he's drowning his 
sorrows

Bb
Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor 
out the bottle
       F                           
With a bunch of fake friends cuz he
                        A
 tried to fit in but it wasn't 
working
Dm
Ran in with the law bout a dozen of 
times
Bb
Nothing too bad, just a few suburban
 crimes still
   F                            
He says to himself, What are you 
            Am
doing you don'€™t deserve this
Dm
Don't you know nobody will ever 
understand
    Bb
The person that you are, learn to 
hold your own hand
F
Get your shit together and lose the 
weight
             A
You'll never be what you want, no 
not with that face
   Dm
He started writing all of his 
thoughts on paper
Bb
Realized music made life so much 
greater
F
100 pounds down, he looks so 
different now
      Am                     
As he plans his escape from a 
 Dm
crooked hometown

[Pre-Estribillo]

Gm
He does all that he should
Am
Why is he misunderstood?

Dm7
21 years and he'€™s on the right 
path

    Bb
But sometimes he wonders if he grew 
up too fast

    F                              
And missed out on the little 
             C
things, all of the little things

(Haha, yeah right)

Dm7                Dm
Who is he kidding, surely not 
himself
    Bb
But sometimes he wonders if there's 
somebody else
      F                       
Thats takes the same road, but 
             C
he'€™ll never kno

Cuz he walks the world alone
