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

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

When there's nobody around you,
A

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