Verse:
         A minorAm
I learned to let go when I was younger
G+G
Scared of growing old
       FF
I would swim far into the ocean

And try to stay afloat
     A minorAm
Until my lungs would cough up water
  G+G                  FF
And sand would coat my bones, and I hope, now

         A minorAm
That someday I'll open up the floodgates
   G+G
And let the lyrics flow
       FF
Someday I'll understand the dry taste

When the words are trapped below
      A minorAm
Some days I wonder if my airway
  G+G                    FF
Is clogged with all the quotes, that I wrote, now

Pre-Chorus:
FF
 I feel worthless
G+G              A minorAm
Maybe I should open the drawer

Burn the pages
          (C majorC)
Write poems with the ash on the floor
FF
 Pour the ink, into the sink
G+G                 A minorAm
 And watch it drain from the shore

Chorus:
       A minorAm
I don't want love no more
G+G                  FF
 Though it's the one thing I've been searching for
DmDm                A minorAm
 Though it's the one thing that I miss the most
G+G              DmDm FF
 Now I'm afraid to be alone

Verse:
         A minorAm
I learnt to grow old when I was younger
A minorAm
Scared of staying young
       A minorAm
Afraid of the thoughts that I had conjured
   A minorAm
That sat atop my tongue
      FF
Knowing I'd change the worlds opinion
       DmDm
If they would just, listen up
       A minorAm
But they won't, now

Pre-Chorus:
FF
 I feel worthless
G+G              A minorAm
Maybe I should open the drawer

Burn the pages
          (C majorC)
Write poems with the ash on the floor
FF
 Pour the ink, into the sink
G+G                 A minorAm
 And watch it drain from the shore

Chorus:
       A minorAm
I don't want love no more
G+G                  FF
 Though it's the one thing I've been searching for
DmDm                A minorAm
 Though it's the one thing that I miss the most
G+G             DmDm
 Now I'm afraid to be alone
      FF
(I'm afraid to be alone
 (G+G)
To be alone)

Bridge:
A minorAm
 Looking in the mirror like
G+G         (E minorEm)   FF
 Maybe I will find myself tonight

I ask for a better mind
DmDm           (FF)        A minorAm
 Then tap into the sight through my third eye

I had never realized
G+G          (E minorEm)   DmDm
 I thought I had a chosen my design
                FF  G+G
I thought I was broken all this time

Chorus:
       A minorAm
I don't want love no more
G+G                  FF
 Though it's the one thing I've been searching for
                 A minorAm
Though it's the one thing that I miss the most
G+G              FF
 Now I'm afraid to be alone
