Late Bloomer

[Verse 1]
  Cm
I always wanted to be more
                            Eb
Than just another compliant Christian daughter
        Cm
You can see it in my prom photos honey
      Eb
I was underwater
  Cm
I told a girl that we were soulmates
                                          Eb
Now I don’t even know the city where she lives
       Cm
All my well-adjusted high school friends
                     Eb
Are on their second kids
         Gm
But it’s fine
          Ab
Honey I’m fine
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb
I’m just a late bloomer
Ab
I couldn’t get here sooner
Bb
I’m just a late bloomer
Ab
Feels like I barely grew up
Bb
Baby bloom
 
Baby bloom
     Ab
Baby bloom
Bb
Baby bloom
 
Baby bloom
      Ab
Baby bloom
 
 
[Verse 2]
Eb    Cm
Oh I wonder what it must be like
                               Eb
To grow up always knowing your face
        Cm
It took years to recognize myself
                      Eb
But it was worth the wait
         Cm
And I’m jealous of people I don’t know
     Gm
Who always had a hand to hold
    Eb
I’m bitter I could never make it work
         Gm
Yeah I’m taller than I once was
Ab
But growing pains hurt
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb
I’m just a late bloomer
Ab
I couldn’t get here sooner
Bb
I’m just a late bloomer
Ab
Feels like I barely grew up
Bb
Baby bloom
 
Baby bloom
     Ab
Baby bloom
Bb
Baby bloom
 
Baby bloom
     Ab
Baby bloom
 
 
[Verse 3]
        Gm
And the kid in the yearbook is lovely
                        Ab
But she’s nothing like me
            Gm                             Ab
I think she was always hoping that one day we’d meet
    Gm
And we did
       Ab
Oh you made it
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb
I’m just a late bloomer
Ab
I couldn’t get here sooner
Bb
I’m just a late bloomer
Ab
Feels like I barely grew up
Bb
Baby bloom
 
Baby bloom
     Ab
Baby bloom
Bb
Baby bloom
 
Baby bloom
     Ab
Baby bloom
 
 
[Outro]
Bb
I’m just a late bloomer
 
I wish I could’ve seen myself sooner
Ab
Ask me about my past
 
And I’ll say I never knew her
Bb
I’m just a late bloomer
 
I wish I could’ve seen myself sooner
Ab
Ask me about my past
 
And I’ll say I never knew her
Bb
I’m just a late bloomer
 
I wish I could’ve seen myself sooner
Ab
Ask me about my past
                               Bb Eb
And I’ll say I never knew her
