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

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

When there's nobody around you,
D
no one to profound you
Em
Just leave me alone,
don't leave me by myself

I see no friends, only strangers
B
