Chords for Nico Collins - Alone (Lyrics)

[Dm] _ _ _ 8 years old and he's kicking and [Bb] screaming I'll only go to school if you give me [F] a reason
The kids are really mean and I already [A] know all the things they're [Bb] teaching
Hopped in the car, mama let him pay her key Missed the first hour just to get a cup [F] of coffee
She's the only one who saw who he [A] was No one else could read [Bb] him
Showing up late but he makes it to class Stare out the window and the clock in [F] the back
He daydreams [Fm] away to a sky so [Em] bright [A] Everything's simple, his driving [Dm] ain't mental
Wishing every day that something would [Bb] change Instead his dad makes him play ball by [F] the bay
And every time he cried, father rolled [Am] his eyes Saying son it's all your fault, how come you never [Gm] try?
He does all that he should, [F] why is he [N] misunderstood?
[Dm] This is a story about a broken [Bb] boy with his headphones in just to block out [F] the noise
Everyone around him telling him [A] the way to go [Dm] So [Em] he walks through [Gm] worlds alone
[Dm] Wondering if it gets [Bb] better, if he's always gonna feel empty [F] forever
So he gets to a start, finding every [A] way back home [Dm] As he walks through worlds alone _ _
15 years and he's drowning in [Bb] sorrow Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out [F] the bottle
And a bunch of fake friends cause he tried to fit [A] in but [Em] it wasn't [Dm] working
Ran away from love about a dozen [Bb] times Nothing to God, just a few suburban [F] crimes
Till he says to himself, what are you doing?
You [A] don't [Dm] deserve this
[Bb] Don't you know nobody will ever understand The person that you are, learn to hold your [F] own hands
Get your shit together and lose your [Am] way You'll never be what you [G] want, no not with that faith
He's trying to write [Bb] in all of his thoughts on paper Realize music made life so much [F] greater
A hundred pounds down, he looks so different [Am] now As he plans his [F] escape from [Gm] a crooked hometown
He does all that [Em] he should, why is he misunderstood?
[Dm]
This is a story about a broken [Bb] boy with his headphones in just to block out the [F] noise
Everyone around him telling him the [A] way to go [F] So he walks through [G] worlds [D] alone
Wondering if he'd get [Bb] better, if he's always gonna feel empty [F] forever
But we get to our spot, a spot that never [Am] waits back home
As he walks through worlds [Dm] _ alone
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
21 _ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] years and he's on the right [Bb] path But sometimes he wonders if he grew up [F] too fast
And missed out on the little things, [C] all of the little things
_ [Dm]
Oh is he kidding, surely not [Bb] himself Sometimes he wonders if there's somebody [F] else
Who takes the same road, [C] but he'll never know
Cause he [Bb] walks through worlds alone
[Dm] This is a story about a broken [Bb] boy with his headphones [Gm] in just to block out the [F] noise
Everyone around him telling him [A] the way to go [F] So he [Am] walks through [Gm] worlds alone
[D] Wondering if he'd get [Bb] better, if he's always gonna feel empty [F] forever
But we get to our spot, a spot that never [C] waits back home
As he walks through [Dm] worlds alone
_ [Bb] As he _ _ [F]
walks _ _ [Gbm] _ [F] _ [A] through [Dm] worlds alone
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [A] _ As he walks through worlds
