[Verse 1]
G Em
Here are the woods where you would hide
C
From everyone you would avoid
G Em
They've been cut down into paper
C
For some school in Illinois
G Em
Here is your car you used to drive
C
Died in the wreck to keep you alive
G Em
You've got angels looking after you
C
And you're begging them
[Chorus]
G
Don't leave the room
Em C G
'Cause I still need you
Em C G
And I will pull through
Em C
I'll be okay, won't you stay?
G Em C
Don't leave the room, no
[Verse 2]
G Em
Fighting back the urge to yell
C
You tell your friends you're doing swell
G
Your journal disagrees
Em C
And your peers, oh they don't believe you
G Em C
You're not alone in this pool you're swimming
G Em C
The lifeguard will keep you from drowning
G Em C
You're not alone in this pool you're swimming
G Em C
The lifeguard will keep you afloat
[Chorus]
G
Don't leave the room
Em C G
'Cause I still need you
Em C G
And I will pull through
Em C
I'll be okay, won't you stay?
G Em C
Don't leave the room, no
