Fifteen / You're On Your Own, Kid

Intro: D  G  Bm  G 

D 
You take a deep breath and you 
  G 
Walk through the doors 
            Bm                       G 
Its the morning of your very first day 
         D                            G 
You say hi to your friends you aint seen in a while 
              Bm                 G 
Try and stay out of everybodys way 
D                                   G 
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here 
             Bm                     G 
For the next four years in this town 

Hoping one of those 
D                 G 
Senior boys will wink at you and say 
            Bm                    G  
You know I haven't seen you around, before 

                   D 
'Cause when you're fifteen and 
Bm                    A 
 Somebody tells you they love you 
                 G 
 You're gonna believe them 
                D 
 And when you're fifteen 
   A                    Bm             G 
 Feeling like there's nothing to figure out 
     Bm                  A 
 Well count to ten, take it in 
                         D                A     G 
 This is life before you know who you're gonna be 
A 
 At fifteen 

( D  G  Bm  G ) 

D 
  I see the great escape, so long, Daisy May 
Bm            G 
   I picked the petals, he loves me not 
D 
  Something different bloomed, writing in my room 
Bm         G                    Bm 
   I play my songs in the parking lot 
     A 
I'll run away 

G                A                    D 
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes 
           Bm7             G 
I called a taxi to take me there 
             A               D 
I search the party of better bodies 
        Bm7                      G 
Just to learn that my dreams aren't rare 
               A 
You're on your own, kid, you always have been 

( G  A  D  Bm7 ) 
( G  A  D  Bm7 ) 
( G  A ) 

G          Bm                 A 
When all you wanted was to be wanted 

Wish you could go back 
    D                  A        G 
And tell yourself what you know now 
Bm             A 
What you know now 

G                A                    D 
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes 
          Bm7                        G 
I gave my blood, sweat and tears for this 
         A                      D 
I hosted parties and starved my body 
            Bm7                G 
Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss 
                  A                 D 
The jokes weren't funny, I took the money 
                Bm7                     G 
My friends from home don't know what to say 
          A                       D 
I looked around in a blood-soaked gown 
              Bm7                    G 
And I saw something they can't take away 
                        A 
'Cause there were pages turned 
                 D 
With the bridges burned 
               Bm7                G 
Everything you lose is a step you take 
                       A 
So make the friendship bracelets 
                    D 
Take the moment and taste it 
              Bm7           G 
You've got no reason to be afraid 
               A 
You're on your own, kid 

G              A 
 Yeah, you can face this 
G               A 
 You're on your own, kid 
                D 
You always have been 

( G  A ) 

              D 
Your very first day 
G 
Take a deep breath girl 
Bm 
Take a deep breath as you 
 G 
Walk through the doors
