what is it like to be by yourself for three and half years.
             Am               D

                    G                     Em                    Am               D
if we could just pretend that i went to college, and that's why you haven't seen me.
             G                    Em        Am             Am   D G
i wanted to go, but not for this long. i overdid it. i overdid it.

G                           Em                            Am
           Em                     D
why did you say that i was one in a million? because i believed it. i thought i had
something that you were too scared to lose.
                       G                     Em                    Am

 so if we could just pretend that i went to college, and traveled abroad, and did
something different.
           G                  Em        Am          D                   Am

 anything but just sitting at home for three and a half years, writing song after song
after song.
               G              Em                           C                    D
so what is it like to be by yourself and feel like you'll die around everyone else.
