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

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

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