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

🎸 Chorus:
                 F
Don't leave the room
      Dm  Bb        F
'Cause I still need you
   Dm  Bb          F
And I will pull through
         Dm              Bb
I'll be okay, won't you stay?

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

Don't leave the room, no
