Verse:
                 Am
I learned to let go when I was younger
G
Scared of growing old
             F
I would swim far into the ocean

And try to stay afloat
         Am
Until my lungs would cough up water
    G                                   F
And sand would coat my bones, and I hope, now

                  Am
That someday I'll open up the floodgates
     G
And let the lyrics flow
             F
Someday I'll understand the dry taste

When the words are trapped below
            Am
Some days I wonder if my airway
   G                                        F
Is clogged with all the quotes, that I wrote, now

Pre-Chorus:
F
 I feel worthless
G                           Am
Maybe I should open the drawer

Burn the pages
                    (C)
Write poems with the ash on the floor
F
 Pour the ink, into the sink
G                                  Am
 And watch it drain from the shore

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

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

Pre-Chorus:
F
 I feel worthless
G                           Am
Maybe I should open the drawer

Burn the pages
                    (C)
Write poems with the ash on the floor
F
 Pour the ink, into the sink
G                                  Am
 And watch it drain from the shore

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

Bridge:
Am
 Looking in the mirror like
G                 (Em)      F
 Maybe I will find myself tonight

I ask for a better mind
Dm                      (F)               Am
 Then tap into the sight through my third eye

I had never realized
G                    (Em)      Dm
 I thought I had a chosen my design
                                F    G
I thought I was broken all this time

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