F C F C
No one ever talked to me like that before

No one really talks to me at all

I don’t know why

I never learned to get along.
[chorus]

I didn’t want to go, I didn’t want to go, they made me go.

I didn’t want to go, I didn’t want to go, they made me go.
[verse]
C Em
I keep my head down
Am C/G
I keep my voice down
F G
I place myself in the back of the room
C Em
They say it’s easy
Am C/G
They make it look easy
F G
But it’s the hardest thing to do
[bridge]
F
To casually and gracefully interact with others
C
To naturally and easily articulate my thoughts
F
This seemingly instinctual trait of human nature
C Am F
Confoundingly has evaded me for the better part of my life
G
Just to have a conversation
F F/G
What would that be like?
[chorus]
C Am Fmaj7
I didn’t want to go, I didn’t want to go, they made me go.
C Am Fmaj7
I didn’t want to go, I didn’t want to go, they made me go.
[verse]
C Em
Am I your project?
Am C/G
Are you gonna fix me?
F G
Nobody knows what the summertime brings.
C Em
You found my power
Am C/G
I am a runner
F G
But I won’t run away now, I’ll run towards things.
