[VERSE 1]
G#m C#m
Wake up in bed screaming so silently
F# B D#
Punch out the walls of insecurity
G#m C#m
Make up instead and say that I'll be fine
F# B D#
I spread these kinds of rumors all the time
G#m C#m
My barricade is like a prison fence
F# B D#
The way I'm feeling when I smile: "They really make no sense"
G#m C#m
Lights in my room just like a starry night
F# B
And that's the way that it goes,
D#
that's just the way that it goes
[CHORUS]
E B
When there's nobody around you,
F#
no one to profound you
G#m
Just leave me alone,
don't leave me by myself
E B
I see no friends, only strangers
D#
that don't know my danger
[VERSE 2]
G#m C#m
I drink my coffee from a paper cup
F# B D#
It doesn't keep my hands warm enough
G#m C#m
Making some plans so I have something to break
F# B D#
Looking alive so I have something to fake
G#m C#m
There's no protection when the demons come
F# B D#
I hear the screaming pound on my eardrums
G#m C#m
This house is haunted now that nobody knows
F# B
That's just way that it goes
D#
that's just the way that it goes
[CHORUS]
E B
When there's nobody around you,
F#
no one to profound you
G#m
Just leave me alone,
don't leave me by myself
E B
I see no friends, only strangers
D#
that don't know my danger

[BRIDGE]
C#m
Tell me that this is a dream
G#m F#
Give me the weightlessness I need
C#m
I'm floating around this room now
G#m F#
Escaping the memory stampede
C#m
I think I can see my mother
G#m F#
Living without her's made me weak
C#m
I'm fighting a losing battle
G#m F#
I am a game of hide and seek
[CHORUS]
E B
When there's nobody around you,
F#
no one to profound you
G#m
Just leave me alone,
don't leave me by myself
E B
I see no friends, only strangers
D#
that don't know my danger
[CHORUS]
