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

[BRIDGE]
Fm
Tell me that this is a dream
Cm A#
Give me the weightlessness I need
Fm
I'm floating around this room now
Cm A#
Escaping the memory stampede
Fm
I think I can see my mother
Cm A#
Living without her's made me weak
Fm
I'm fighting a losing battle
Cm A#
I am a game of hide and seek
[CHORUS]
G# D#
When there's nobody around you,
A#
no one to profound you

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

I see no friends, only strangers
