[Verse]
E Amaj7
baby please, it’s the way you speak
E Amaj7
forming words so easily
E Amaj7
and i think of the way you think
E Amaj7
it keeps me from falling asleep
E Amaj7
in that grave i call a bed
E Amaj7
until you called me up and said
E
"i haven't stopped crying
my father's been drinking
Amaj7
i need a place to stay
E
i don't want to be here
he's saying the words that
Amaj7
he promised he would never say
E Amaj7
that liquid he consumes
E Amaj7
makes him speak the truth
E Amaj7
and i said no, its not that at all
E Amaj7
its that bottles of lies for a troubled heart
E Amaj7
its standing on the edge of a mountain top
E Amaj7
screaming anything he wants
E Amaj7
like, "look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,
E Amaj7
because i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist"

[Verse]
E Amaj7
i remember the way you shook
E
its a shame that we're not soul mates
Amaj7
because if i didn't know better
i'd say this feels pretty good and
E Amaj7
how could i be scared?
E Amaj7
when i stretch and feel you're there
E
so shut your mouth
Amaj7
cause these words will speak themselves
E
i can feel them in these blankets
Amaj7
and they're surrounding your figure
Amaj7
embraced in the quilts
E Amaj7
and i cant help but think
E Amaj7
you're my missing puzzle piece
Amaj7
E Amaj7
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
E
ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me
Amaj7 E
to get out of this house
Amaj7
i cant make them stop
E Amaj7
i'm just like my mom
E Amaj7
and you said no, these demons will fall
E Amaj7
you're so precious to us all
E Amaj7
and i said i, i cant do this alone
E Amaj7
i still need you to hold
E Amaj7
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,
E Amaj7
because i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid
