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

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

D#m
Just leave me alone,
don't leave me by myself

I see no friends, only strangers
