Nico collins - Alone Key: Dm No capo Transpose 2 for easier chords :) [Intro] Dm [Verse 1]

^DmEight years old and he's kicking and screaming ^BbI'll only go to school if you give me a reason

^FThe kids are really mean and I already know all the ^Amthings they're teaching ^DmHopped in the car mama let him play hookey

^BbMissed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee ^FShe's the only one who saw who he was, no one ^Amelse could read him

^DmShowing up late but he makes it to class Just to ^Bbstare out the window and the clock in the back

He ^Fdaydreamed away to a sky so gray ^AmEverything's simple, it's driving him mental

^DmWishing every day that something would change ^BbInstead his dad makes him play ball by the bay

^FAnd every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying ^AmSon it's all your fault, how come you never try?

[Pre-Chorus]

^GmHe does all that he should ^AmWhy is he misunder^Astood?

[Chorus]

^DmThis is a story 'bout a broken boy With his ^Bbheadphones in just to block out the noise

Of ^Feveryone around him telling him the way to ^Ago So he walks the world ^Dmalone, Wondering if it gets better

Or ^Bbif he's always gonna feel empty forever ^FSo he gets lost tryna find another way back ^Ahome

As he walks the world ^Dmalone

[Verse 2]

^DmFifteen years and he's drowning his sorrows ^BbSmoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle

With a ^Fbunch of fake friends cuz he tried to fit in but it ^Awasn't working ^DmRan in with the law bout a dozen of times

^BbNothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes still He ^Fsays to himself, What are you doing you d^Amon't deserve this

^DmDon't you know nobody will ever understand The ^Bbperson that you are, learn to hold your own hand

^FGet your shit together and lose the weight You'll never ^Abe what you want, no not with that face

He ^Dmstarted writing all of his thoughts on paper ^BbRealized music made life so much greater

^F100 pounds down, he looks so different now As he ^Amplans his escape from a ^Dmcrooked hometown

[Pre-Chorus]

^GmHe does all that he should ^AmWhy is he misunderstood?

[Chorus]

^DmThis is a story bout a broken boy With his ^Bbheadphones in just to block out the noise

Of ^Feveryone around him telling him the way to ^Ago So he walks the world ^Dmalone, Wondering if it gets better

Or ^Bbif he's always gonna feel empty forever ^FSo he gets lost tryna find another way back ^Ahome

As he walks the world ^Dmalone ^BbAlone

^FAlone ^A ^Am

[Bridge]

^Dm721 years and he's on the right path But ^Bbsometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast

And ^Fmissed out on the little things, all of the ^Clittle things (Haha, yeah right)

^Dm7Who is he kidding, ^Dmsurely not himself But ^Bbsometimes he wonders if there's somebody else

Thats ^Ftakes the same road, but he'll never ^Cknow

N.C.

Cuz he walks the world alone

[Chorus]

^DmThis is a story bout a broken boy With his ^Bbheadphones in just to block out the noise

Of ^Feveryone around him telling him the way to ^Amgo So he walks the world ^Dmalone, Wondering if it gets better

Or ^Bbif he's always gonna feel empty forever ^FSo he gets lost tryna find another way back ^Amhome

As he walks the world ^Dmalone ^BbAlone (Does it get better, does it get better)

^FAlone ^Am As he walks the world ^Dmalone

^BbAlone ^FAlone

[Outro]

So ^Amalone Yeah he walks the world ^Dmalone
