Nico collins - Alone
Key: Dm
No capo
[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
DmEight years old and he's kicking and screaming
BbI'll only go to school if you give me a reason
FThe kids are really mean and I already know all the Amthings they're teaching
DmHopped in the car mama let him play hookey
BbMissed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee
FShe's the only one who saw who he was, no onAme else could read him
DmShowing up late but he makes it to class
Just to Bbstare out the window and the clock in the back
He Fdaydreamed away to a sky so gray
AmEverything's simple, it's driving him mental
DmWishing every day that something would change
BbInstead his dad makes him play ball by the bay
FAnd every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying
AmSon it's all your fault, how come you never try?
[Pre-Chorus]
GmHe does all that he should
AmWhy is he misunderAstood?
[Chorus]
DmThis is a story 'bout a broken boy
With his Bbheadphones in just to block out the noise
Of Feveryone around him telling him the way to Ago
So he walks the world Dmalone, Wondering if it gets better
Or Bbif he's always gonna feel empty forever
FSo he gets lost tryna find another way back Ahome
As he walks the world Dmalone
[Verse 2]
DmFifteen years and he's drowning his sorrows
BbSmoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle
With a Fbunch of fake friends cuz he tried to fit in but it Awasn't working
DmRan in with the law bout a dozen of times
BbNothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes still
He Fsays to himself, What are you doing you dAmon't deserve this
DmDon't you know nobody will ever understand
The Bbperson that you are, learn to hold your own hand
FGet your shit together and lose the weight
You'll never Abe what you want, no not with that face
He Dmstarted writing all of his thoughts on paper
BbRealized music made life so much greater
F100 pounds down, he looks so different now
As he Amplans his escape from a Dmcrooked hometown
[Pre-Chorus]
GmHe does all that he should
AmWhy is he misunderstood?
[Chorus]
DmThis is a story bout a broken boy
With his Bbheadphones in just to block out the noise
Of Feveryone around him telling him the way to Ago
So he walks the world Dmalone, Wondering if it gets better

FSo he gets lost tryna find another way back Ahome
As he walks the world Dmalone

Nico collins - Alone

Key: Dm

No capo

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Eight years old and he's kicking and screaming

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

Hopped in the car mama let him play hookey

Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee

F Am

She's the only one who saw who he was, no one else could read him

Showing up late but he makes it to class

Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back

He daydreamed away to a sky so gray

Everything's simple, it's driving him mental

Wishing every day that something would change

Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay

And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying

Son it's all your fault, how come you never try?

[Pre-Chorus]

He does all that he should

Am A

Why is he misunderstood?

[Chorus]

This is a story 'bout a broken boy

With his headphones in just to block out the noise

F A

Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

So he walks the world alone, Wondering if it gets better

Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

F A

So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

As he walks the world alone

[Verse 2]

Fifteen years and he's drowning his sorrows

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

Ran in with the law bout a dozen of times

Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes still

F Am

He says to himself, What are you doing you don't deserve this

Don't you know nobody will ever understand

The person that you are, learn to hold your own hand

Get your shit together and lose the weight

You'll never be what you want, no not with that face

He started writing all of his thoughts on paper

Realized music made life so much greater

100 pounds down, he looks so different now

Am Dm

As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown

[Pre-Chorus]

He does all that he should

Why is he misunderstood?

[Chorus]

This is a story bout a broken boy

With his headphones in just to block out the noise

F A

Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

So he walks the world alone, Wondering if it gets better

Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

F A

So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

As he walks the world alone

Alone

F A Am

Alone

[Bridge]

Dm7

21 years and he's on the right path

But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast

F C

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

(Haha, yeah right)

Dm7 Dm

Who is he kidding, surely not himself

But sometimes he wonders if there's somebody else

F C

That takes the same road, but he'll never know

N.C.

Cuz he walks the world alone

[Chorus]

This is a story bout a broken boy

With his headphones in just to block out the noise

F Am

Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

So he walks the world alone, Wondering if it gets better

Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

F Am

So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

As he walks the world alone

Alone (Does it get better, does it get better)

F Am

Alone

As he walks the world alone

Alone

[Outro]

So alone

Yeah he walks the world alone
