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

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

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