(ver. 1)
Wallflowers
[Intro]
 
D C G

[Verse]
 
  D                    C                G
I know you're tired of wakin' up on the floor
D                       C                G
Pushed to the edge with nothin' heavy to hold
D                       C             G
Usin' your clothes as a blanket and a bed
D                  C                G
Holdin' your hands just to lay your head
           C              Bm           Am
I know you don't remember ever fallin' down
C                                D
Who picked you up, who gathered around
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                         C        D
But you don't have to be his girl
                         C
And you don't have to be my girl
                           G   C
You can always be your own girl
 
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
 
         D                      C                  G
With the sound of your feet you follow yourself to sleep
D                        C                        G
Restless and ageless and lookin' for something to keep
         D              C                    G
When you finally fall asleep you're awake in dreams
D                     C                 G
Hangin' by the ankles in the skeleton ravine
              C               Bm             Am
I know you're kicked the lights fell on your shoes
C                                       D
Punched out the colors, leaving you the blues
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
                         C        D
But you don't have to be his girl
                         C
And you don't have to be my girl
                           G   C
You can always be your own girl
 
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
 
          D                  C               G
There's a soft melody that's ringin' in your ears
D                   C                 G
Simple and slow and always brings you here
     D                     C                G
With broken crayons you've scribbled on the wall
D                     C                 G
Shapes of nothing and shadow boxed them all
           C             Bm                     Am
Your fingertips are broke, and your knees don't bend
     C                                          D
Your imagination took the worst hit and cut its skin
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
                         C        D
But you don't have to be his girl
                         C
And you don't have to be my girl
                           G   C
You can always be your own girl

[Verse 4]
 
          D                  C             G
There's a soft melody that's ringin' in my ears
         D                  C              G
It's the same one you could never avoid in yours
           D                C                   G
And if you lay down you can hear from tongue to tails
        D                   C                  G
About a tattooed rhythm and drummin' by color wheel
             C             Bm            Am
Your rung is broken on the bottom of the rope
        C                                  D
And you can't tie another, another knot of hope
 
 
[Chorus 4]
 
                         C        D
But you don't have to be his girl
                         C
And you don't have to be my girl
                           G   C
You can always be your own girl
