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