E           F#                   A
On Saturday in the park didn't think you fell that hard
E             B                 A             E
Woke up again, woke up and you wanted a new start

E           F#                   A
On Saturday in the park didn't think you fell that hard
E          B                       A
Oh Adrien, The silver maple never saw you coming
F#             A      G#           F#    G#             A        E
Stay where you are, stay where you are, stay where you are, and no one gets hurt

Chorus:
E                 F#                   A
You cut your hair and you look like a little boy
(You cut your hair)
E                      F#           A
You climbed the stairs so high you can't come down from there
(You cut your hair)
E                                       F#      A
Said you wanted to get it together but you don't
(You cut your hair)
E                                       F#      A
Said you wanted to get it together but you won't
(You cut your hair)

B                                 A
Say something, waste something, change your life
B                                 A
Take something, break something, make your flight
B
Say something, anything
A
Mommy wants you to be a doctor so she can tell your friends you're like your father
E           B                                A                                        E
And if it’s all for the sake of conversation, then maybe you should try a new vocation
B                        A
Saved by a waif and the weight of your wayfarers

Chorus

Oh, saved by a waif and the weight of your wayfarers
