[Verse]
A Dmaj7
baby please, it’s the way you speak
A Dmaj7
forming words so easily
A Dmaj7
and i think of the way you think
A Dmaj7
it keeps me from falling asleep
A Dmaj7
in that grave i call a bed
A Dmaj7
until you called me up and said
A
"i haven't stopped crying
my father's been drinking
Dmaj7
i need a place to stay
A
i don't want to be here
he's saying the words that
Dmaj7
he promised he would never say
A Dmaj7
that liquid he consumes
A Dmaj7
makes him speak the truth
A Dmaj7
and i said no, its not that at all
A Dmaj7
its that bottles of lies for a troubled heart
A Dmaj7
its standing on the edge of a mountain top
A Dmaj7
screaming anything he wants
A Dmaj7
like, "look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,
A Dmaj7
because i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist"

[Verse]
A Dmaj7
i remember the way you shook
A
its a shame that we're not soul mates
Dmaj7
because if i didn't know better
i'd say this feels pretty good and
A Dmaj7
how could i be scared?
A Dmaj7
when i stretch and feel you're there
A
so shut your mouth
Dmaj7
cause these words will speak themselves
A
i can feel them in these blankets
Dmaj7
and they're surrounding your figure
Dmaj7
embraced in the quilts
A Dmaj7
and i cant help but think
A Dmaj7
you're my missing puzzle piece
Dmaj7
A Dmaj7
i wake up in the hallway, i'm looking for sunlight
with rays that will cure me of the pain that keeps my lungs tight
A
ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me
Dmaj7 A
to get out of this house
Dmaj7
i cant make them stop
A Dmaj7
i'm just like my mom
A Dmaj7
and you said no, these demons will fall
A Dmaj7
you're so precious to us all
A Dmaj7
and i said i, i cant do this alone
A Dmaj7
i still need you to hold
A Dmaj7
so don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go,
A Dmaj7
because i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid
