[Verse]
F#
I'm not a kid anymore
F#
Well I wasn't before
Dmaj7 Bm
I grew up on my own behind locked doors
F#
My house was empty, no walls
F#
The ceilings endlessly tall
Dmaj7 Bm
And yet I felt I had no freedom at all
F#
And they'd say
E
They'd come back for me one day
Dmaj7 E
And they told me it was gonna be okay
F#
And they'd lie
E
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
Dmaj7 E
And they told me I had time to stay a child
F#
For a while
F#
I'd make a breakfast for two
F#
Pretend to give it to you
Dmaj7 Bm
My imaginary friend I never knew
F#
B friendly face in the morning
F#
Would often serve as a warning
Dmaj7 Bm
For the party dress my mother would be adorning
F#
And they'd say
E
They'd come back for me one day
Dmaj7 E
And they told me it was gonna be okay
F#
And they'd lie
E
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
Dmaj7 E
And they told me I had time to stay a child
Dmaj7 F#
Sneaking out onto my roof at night
Dmaj7 F#
Hoping someday I might find
C# B
Something to believe in
A#m G#
The stars would help with grieving
F#
So I'd stay
E
In my castle locked away
Dmaj7 E
B prisoner for the remainder of my days
F#
But at night
E
When the moon was shining bright
Dmaj7 E
I told myself there was something just out of sight
F#
Out of sight
