Dm
Eight years old and he's kicking and screaming
Bb
I'll only go to school if you give me a reason
F Am
The kids are really mean and I already know all the things they're teaching
Dm
Hopped in the car mama let him play hookey
Bb
Missed the first hour just to get a cup of cof
F Am
She's the only one who saw who he was, no one else could read him
Dm
Showing up late but he makes it to class
Bb
Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back
F
He daydreamed away to a sky so gray
Am
Everything's simple, it's driving him mental
Dm
Wishing every day that something would change
Bb
Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay
F
And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying
Am
Son it's all your fault, how come you never try?
Gm
He does all that he should
Am A
Why is he misunderstood?
Dm
This is a story 'bout a broken boy
Bb
With his headphones in just to block out the noise
F A
Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
Dm
So he walks the world alone, Wondering if it gets better
Bb
Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever
F A
So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
Dm
As he walks the world alone
Dm
Fifteen years and he's drowning his sorrows
Bb
Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle
F A
With a bunch of fake friends cuz he tried to fit in but it wasn't working
Dm
Ran in with the law bout a dozen of times
Bb
Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes still
F Am
He says to himself, What are you doing you don't deserve this
Dm
Don't you know nobody will ever understand
Bb
The person that you are, learn to hold your own hand
F
Get your shit together and lose the weight
A
You'll never be what you want, no not with that face
Dm
He started writing all of his thoughts on paper
Bb
Realized music made life so much greater
F
100 pounds down, he looks so different now
Am Dm
As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown
Gm
He does all that he should
Am
Why is he misunderstood?

21 years and he's on the right path

But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast

And missed out on the little things, all of the little things

Who is he kidding, surely not himself

But sometimes he wonders if there's somebody else

Thats takes the same road, but he'll never kno
Cuz he walks the world alone
