BUTTERCUP: Hippo Campus 
[Intro Chorus]
EI’ll be fine on my oAwn, she said, I don’t need you inside my head
E(She’ll be fine on her own, she’ll be fine on her own)
EI'll be fine on my own, she said, all my love's Awrapped in shades of red
E(She’ll be fine on her own, she’ll be fine on her own)
 [Verse 1]
ANo holds barred in the ring so you’ll fight meE  
Give 'em F#mhell, give 'em teAeth like you taught mEe
Tireless F#mmess, seeking thrAills getting biteyE  
AWhen I'm in doubtE  
APudgy face kissing lace in the bEackseat
Wrinkled F#mtoss of the cAoin that I canE't see
Don't foF#mrget I have Ayou to be like Eme
Where arF#mound is enougAh for a famiEly
 [Chorus]
EI’ll be fine on my oAwn, she said, I don’t need you inside my head
E(She’ll be fine on her own, she’ll be fine on her own)
EI'll be fine on my oAwn, she said, all my love's wrapped in shades of red
E(She’ll be fine on her own, she’ll be fine on her own)
 [Verse 2] 
*quiet 
AGrowing pains splaying rain on the high Esea
Scale a F#mtree, snap a branch Aso you can't Eleave
On the gF#mround, lost and foAund, understand Eme
Putting F#mwords in my moAuth, trying to get fEree
*heavy
ASolid punch kind of eyes make ‘em woEbbly
Gothic vF#mine growing fAire in the lobEby
Lighten F#mup, ButterAcup, get a hobEby
Yeah swiF#mng, sucker sAwing, finish sobEbing
 [Bridge]
EShe’ll be fine on her own... she’ll be fAine on her own
EShe’ll be fine on her own, she said
 — *build up
 [Verse 3]
AI'll be fine, I'm alright, it’s Emy body
Gonna stF#mick to my gunsA, like you taught Eme
Holy helF#ml, I can tAell that you hate meE  
Dying moF#mon, keep me Aup, keep me waitingE  
I'lAl be fine, I'm alright, it’s my bEody
Gonna stF#mick to my gAuns, like you taught Eme
Holy helF#ml, I can Atell that you hate meE  
Dying moF#mon, keep Ame up, keep me waitinEg
— Dying moon, keep me up keep me waiting
