Chords with lyrics

• Difficulty: Beginner

Intro:

    A minorAm
At the tender age of seven
A minorAm           E minorEm           E minorEm
I begged my parents to buy me my own library card
     FF
I wanted books that'd keep me up all night
   FF
And they became my kryptonite
E minorEm                   E MajorE
Instead of people, 'cause talking was hard

Verse 1:
       A minorAm
I'd bring my books with me to lunch
      FF
So that I didn't have to run
      DmDm            E MajorE
'Cause the pages built a temporary shield
     A minorAm
From the forces that rejected me
 FF
Those who'd never protected me
  DmDm                 E MajorE
And for a while it all just seemed so real


Pre-Chorus:
    A minorAm
Yeah, things were great
 DmDm
Things were fine
     C majorC      E MajorE
But the magic had to run out sometime


Chorus:
  A minorAm
So here I am at twenty-one
  FF
My life has finally begun
DmDm               G+G
I can't seem to find my way to the next chapter
A minorAm
I'll accept these parts of me
FF               DmDm
Paper cuts along these jagged sheets
         G+G       A minorAm FF DmDm G+G
With no happily ever after now

Verse 2:
  A minorAm               C majorC
So when the time came up for me to finally fall in love
  G+G               E MajorE
I set my expectations way too high
       A minorAm
It turns out I was no protagonist
 C majorC
Boys weren't a fan of this
  G+G                 E MajorE
And so I slowly learned that I should hide


Pre-Chorus:
     A minorAm     E MajorE
From the reality consuming me
   C majorC           E MajorE
That I'd never be like the girls that they'd write


Chorus:
  A minorAm
So here I am at twenty-one
 FF
Life has finally begun
DmDm               G+G
I can't seem to find my way to the next chapter
A minorAm
I'll accept this part of me
FF              DmDm
Phoning in the hope of fantasy
        G+G     A minorAm FF DmDm G+G
With no happily ever after now


Bridge:
FF
Happy endings overrated
E MajorE
I'm more used to getting hurt
A minorAm
Forgive me if I'd rather stay in
       G+G
My own little universe
FF
Happy endings overrated
E MajorE
I'm more used to getting hurt
A minorAm
Forgive me if I'd rather stay in
       G+G
My own little universe

FF
The dreams are gone, the wishes faded
E MajorE
I knew this could never work
A minorAm
Forgive me if I'd rather stay in
A minorAm      G+G
My own little universe
FF
The dreams are gone, the wishes faded
E MajorE
I knew this could never work
A minorAm
Forgive me if I'd rather stay in
N.C.
My own little universe


Chorus:
  A minorAm
So here I am at twenty-one
FF
Life has finally begun
   DmDm               G+G
Then why do I still feel like such a damn disaster
A minorAm
I'll accept this part of me
FF            DmDm
Poorly adapted literary freak
        G+G     A minorAm FF
With no happily ever after now


Outro:
       DmDm  G+G
No ever after now
       A minorAm  FF
No ever after now
DmDm        G+G         A minorAm
I don't even know what the book's about
