🎸 Verse 1:
FF                 DmDm
Here are the woods where you would hide
     Bb majorBb
From everyone you would avoid
FF             DmDm
They've been cut down into paper
     Bb majorBb
For some school in Illinois
FF              DmDm
Here is your car you used to drive
      Bb majorBb
Died in the wreck to keep you alive
FF               DmDm
You've got angels looking after you
          Bb majorBb
And you're begging them

🎸 Chorus:
         FF
Don't leave the room
   DmDm Bb majorBb    FF
'Cause I still need you
  DmDm Bb majorBb     FF
And I will pull through
     DmDm       Bb majorBb
I'll be okay, won't you stay?
         FF   DmDm Bb majorBb
Don't leave the room, no


🎸 Verse 2:
FF             DmDm
Fighting back the urge to yell
        Bb majorBb
You tell your friends you're doing swell
FF
Your journal disagrees
      DmDm          Bb majorBb
And your peers, oh they don't believe you
    FF         DmDm      Bb majorBb
You're not alone in this pool you're swimming
    FF      DmDm       Bb majorBb
The lifeguard will keep you from drowning
    FF         DmDm      Bb majorBb
You're not alone in this pool you're swimming
    FF      DmDm    Bb majorBb
The lifeguard will keep you afloat

🎸 Chorus:
         FF
Don't leave the room
   DmDm Bb majorBb    FF
'Cause I still need you
  DmDm Bb majorBb     FF
And I will pull through
     DmDm       Bb majorBb
I'll be okay, won't you stay?
         FF   DmDm Bb majorBb
Don't leave the room, no
