Semler - 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
