Putting A Spin On Prom Dress

The Egg


Tom: Gm

Gm                      Dm
I'm nearing the end of my fourth year
Cm                              D7
I feel like I've been lacking, crying too many tears
Gm                        Dm
Everyone seemed to say it was so great
Cm                      D7
But did I miss out? Was it a huge mistake?

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm                       Dm7
I can't help the fact I like to be alone
Cm                             D7
It might sound kinda sad, but that's just what I seem to know
Gm                                  Dm7
I tend to handle things usually by myself
Cm                        D
And I can't ever seem to try and ask for help


[Chorus]
Gm                D
I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress
Cm                       D7
I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Gm                      Dm7
Make-up is running down, feelings are all around
Cm                     D
How did I get here? I need to know
Gm                   Dm7
I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
Cm                      D7
Thought I'd get to them, but no, I didn't
Gm                               Dm7
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
           Cm                             D7
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run


[Verse 2]
Gm                      Bb
I keep collections of masks upon my wall
Cm                         D
To try and stop myself from revealing it all
Gm                       Dm
Affecting others is the last thing I would do
Cm                        D7
I keep to myself though I want to break through

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm                   Dm
I hold so many small regrets
Cm                          D7
And what-ifs down inside my head
Gm                           Dm
Some confidence, it couldn't hurt me
Cm             D7
My demeanor is often misread


[Chorus]
Gm                Dm
I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress
Cm                       D7
I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Gm                      Dm7
Make-up is running down, feelings are all around
Cm                     D
How did I get here? I need to know
Gm                   Dm7
I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
Cm                      D7
Thought I'd get to them, but no, I didn't
Gm                               Dm7
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
           Cm                            Cm   D7
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run



[Post-Chorus]

Gm

Dm7             Cm
All I wanna do is run

D  Gm

Dm7             Cm
All I wanna do is run

D


[Chorus]
Gm                Dm
I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress
Cm                       D
I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest
Gm                      Dm7
Make-up is running down, feelings are all around
Cm                     D7
How did I get here? I need to know
Gm                   Dm7
I guess I maybe had a couple expectations
Cm                      D7
Thought I'd get to them, but no, I didn't
Gm                               Dm
I guess I thought that prom was gonna be fun
           Eb                            Cm   D        Bb
But now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run
