Chords for Nico Collins - Alone (Lyrics) 🎤

_ _ _ _ _ _ 8 years old and he's kicking and screaming
[Bb] I'll only go to school if you give me a [F] reason
The kids are really mean and I already know [A] all the things they're teaching
[Dm] Hopped in the car, mama let him pay her [Bb] key
Missed the first hour just to get a cup of [F] coffee
She's the only one who saw who he was, [Am] no one else could read [Dm] him
Showing up late but he makes it to [Bb] class
I stare out the window and the clock in the [F] back
They dreamed away to a sky so [Am] gray
Everything simple and private and [Dm] mental
Wishing every day that something would [Bb] change
Said his dad makes him play ball by the [F] bay
And every time he cried, father rolled his eyes
[Am] Saying son it's all your fault, how come you [A] never [Gm] try?
He does all that he [A] should, why is he misunderstood?
_ [Dm] This is Roy, not a broken boy
[Bb] With his headphones in just to block out the [F] noise
Everyone's been telling him the way [A] to go
[E] So he walks the world [Em] [D] alone
Wondering if it gets [Bb] better
If he's always gonna feel empty [F] forever
So he gets lost, try to find another way [A] back home
As he walks the world [Dm] alone
_ _ 15 years and he's drowning in sorrow
[Bb] Smoking heat, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle
[Fm] Made a bunch of fake friends cause he tried to fit in
[A] But it wasn't working
[D] Ran away from law about a dozen times
[Bb] Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes
[Fm] So he says to himself
What are you [Am] doing?
You don't deserve [Dm] this
Don't you know nobody will ever understand
[Bb] The person that you are, learn to hold your own [F] hand
Can't do shit together and lose the way
[Am] You'll never be what you want, no, not with that [Dm] faith
He's got it right and all of his thoughts on [Bb] paper
Real life music made life so much greater
[F] A hundred pounds down, he looks so different now
[Am] As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown
[Gm] _ He does all that he [Am] should, why is he [N] misunderstood?
_ [Dm] This is the boy, got a broken boy
[Bb] With his headphones in just to block out the [F] noise
Everyone's been telling him the way [E] to go
So he walks [G] the world [D] alone
Wondering if it gets [Bb] better
If he's always gonna feel empty [F] forever
But we get lost, find a button that'll work
[A] _
[E] As he walks the world [Dm] alone
_ _ [Bb] Alone
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [A] Alone
[E] _
_ _ [Dm] 21 years and he's on the right [Bb] path
But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too [F] fast
And missed out on the little things
[C] All of the little things
Uh-huh, you're [Dm] right
Who is he kidding?
Surely not himself
[Bb] But sometimes he wonders if there's somebody [F] else
Who takes the same road
But he'll [C] never know
Cause he walks the world
[Dm] This is the boy, got a broken boy
[Bb] With his headphones in just to block out the noise
[F] Everyone's been telling him the way [A] to go
So he walks the world [G] alone
[D] Wondering if it gets [Bb] better
If he's always gonna feel empty forever
[F] But we get lost, find a button that'll work
[E] As he walks the world [Dm] alone
_ [Bb] Alone _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [A] _
As he walks the world [Dm] alone
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [A] _
As he walks the world alone _ _ _ _ _
