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

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

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

I see no friends, only strangers
