[Verse]
B
I'm not a kid anymore
B
Well I wasn't before
Gmaj7 Em
I grew up on my own behind locked doors
B
My house was empty, no walls
B
The ceilings endlessly tall
Gmaj7 Em
And yet I felt I had no freedom at all
B
And they'd say
A
They'd come back for me one day
Gmaj7 A
And they told me it was gonna be okay
B
And they'd lie
A
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
Gmaj7 A
And they told me I had time to stay a child
B
For a while
B
I'd make a breakfast for two
B
Pretend to give it to you
Gmaj7 Em
My imaginary friend I never knew
B
E friendly face in the morning
B
Would often serve as a warning
Gmaj7 Em
For the party dress my mother would be adorning
B
And they'd say
A
They'd come back for me one day
Gmaj7 A
And they told me it was gonna be okay
B
And they'd lie
A
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
Gmaj7 A
And they told me I had time to stay a child
Gmaj7 B
Sneaking out onto my roof at night
Gmaj7 B
Hoping someday I might find
F# E
Something to believe in
D#m C#
The stars would help with grieving
B
So I'd stay
A
In my castle locked away
Gmaj7 A
E prisoner for the remainder of my days
B
But at night
A
When the moon was shining bright
Gmaj7 A
I told myself there was something just out of sight
B
Out of sight
