[Verse 1]
She wEmoke up one day with the rBmising of the sun
SurrDounded by fields of grAmain
HEmopped on a plane nBmever to return
DDestination hide the pAmain

And befDore she had time to unpAmack
She lEmistened to the sound of the wBmaves on the shore
And knDew that she was never going bAmack
[Chorus]
Stay the cGourse you can't turn bDack
You might get scaAmred, you might get lConely
Thinking about wGays you could lose the pDath
It's all hAmarmful distrCactions
Stay the cGourse in a changing sDea
Tides tAmurning, waves are chCurning
Thinking about trGying to take another from Dme

[Verse 2]
 EmNever a cool kid

Another chEmord he strummed, another nBmote he hummed
AnDother original melodAmy
                                 Em                          BmN.C.
But as soon as he stepped on the stage and saw them smiling back he knew what he was meant to be
