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

that don't know my danger

A#m
Tell me that this is a dream
Fm D#
Give me the weightlessness I need
A#m
I'm floating around this room now
Fm D#
Escaping the memory stampede
A#m
I think I can see my mother
Fm D#
Living without her's made me weak
A#m
I'm fighting a losing battle
Fm D#
I am a game of hide and seek
[CHORUS]
C# G#
When there's nobody around you,

no one to profound you

Just leave me alone,
don't leave me by myself
