[Verse]
D
I'm not a kid anymore
D
Well I wasn't before
A#maj7 Gm
I grew up on my own behind locked doors
D
My house was empty, no walls
D
The ceilings endlessly tall
A#maj7 Gm
And yet I felt I had no freedom at all
D
And they'd say
C
They'd come back for me one day
A#maj7 C
And they told me it was gonna be okay
D
And they'd lie
C
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
A#maj7 C
And they told me I had time to stay a child
D
For a while
D
I'd make a breakfast for two
D
Pretend to give it to you
A#maj7 Gm
My imaginary friend I never knew
D
G friendly face in the morning
D
Would often serve as a warning
A#maj7 Gm
For the party dress my mother would be adorning
D
And they'd say
C
They'd come back for me one day
A#maj7 C
And they told me it was gonna be okay
D
And they'd lie
C
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
A#maj7 C
And they told me I had time to stay a child
A#maj7 D
Sneaking out onto my roof at night
A#maj7 D
Hoping someday I might find
A G
Something to believe in
F#m E
The stars would help with grieving
D
So I'd stay
C
In my castle locked away
A#maj7 C
G prisoner for the remainder of my days
D
But at night
C
When the moon was shining bright
A#maj7 C
I told myself there was something just out of sight
D
Out of sight
