[Verse]
F A#maj7
baby please, it’s the way you speak
F A#maj7
forming words so easily
F A#maj7
and i think of the way you think
F A#maj7
it keeps me from falling asleep
F A#maj7
in that grave i call a bed
F A#maj7
until you called me up and said
F
"i haven't stopped crying
my father's been drinking
A#maj7
i need a place to stay
F
i don't want to be here
he's saying the words that
A#maj7
he promised he would never say
F A#maj7
that liquid he consumes
F A#maj7
makes him speak the truth
F A#maj7
and i said no, its not that at all
F A#maj7
its that bottles of lies for a troubled heart
F A#maj7
its standing on the edge of a mountain top
F A#maj7
screaming anything he wants
F A#maj7
like, "look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,
F A#maj7
because i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist"

[Verse]
F A#maj7
i remember the way you shook
F
its a shame that we're not soul mates
A#maj7
because if i didn't know better
i'd say this feels pretty good and
F A#maj7
how could i be scared?
F A#maj7
when i stretch and feel you're there
F
so shut your mouth
A#maj7
cause these words will speak themselves
F
i can feel them in these blankets
A#maj7
and they're surrounding your figure
A#maj7
embraced in the quilts
F A#maj7
and i cant help but think
F A#maj7
you're my missing puzzle piece
A#maj7
F A#maj7
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
F
ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me
A#maj7 F
to get out of this house
A#maj7
i cant make them stop
F A#maj7
i'm just like my mom
F A#maj7
and you said no, these demons will fall
F A#maj7
you're so precious to us all
F A#maj7
and i said i, i cant do this alone
F A#maj7
i still need you to hold
F A#maj7
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,
F A#maj7
because i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid
