[Verse]
D Gmaj7
baby please, it’s the way you speak
D Gmaj7
forming words so easily
D Gmaj7
and i think of the way you think
D Gmaj7
it keeps me from falling asleep
D Gmaj7
in that grave i call a bed
D Gmaj7
until you called me up and said
D
"i haven't stopped crying
my father's been drinking
Gmaj7
i need a place to stay
D
i don't want to be here
he's saying the words that
Gmaj7
he promised he would never say
D Gmaj7
that liquid he consumes
D Gmaj7
makes him speak the truth
D Gmaj7
and i said no, its not that at all
D Gmaj7
its that bottles of lies for a troubled heart
D Gmaj7
its standing on the edge of a mountain top
D Gmaj7
screaming anything he wants
D Gmaj7
like, "look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,
D Gmaj7
because i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist, i exist"

[Verse]
D Gmaj7
i remember the way you shook
D
its a shame that we're not soul mates
Gmaj7
because if i didn't know better
i'd say this feels pretty good and
D Gmaj7
how could i be scared?
D Gmaj7
when i stretch and feel you're there
D
so shut your mouth
Gmaj7
cause these words will speak themselves
D
i can feel them in these blankets
Gmaj7
and they're surrounding your figure
Gmaj7
embraced in the quilts
D Gmaj7
and i cant help but think
D Gmaj7
you're my missing puzzle piece
Gmaj7
D Gmaj7
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
D
ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me
Gmaj7 D
to get out of this house
Gmaj7
i cant make them stop
D Gmaj7
i'm just like my mom
D Gmaj7
and you said no, these demons will fall
D Gmaj7
you're so precious to us all
D Gmaj7
and i said i, i cant do this alone
D Gmaj7
i still need you to hold
D Gmaj7
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,
D Gmaj7
because i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid
