• Difficulty: Beginner

Intro:

D     F#m     Em     Em   (x2)


Verse 1:
D                         F#m                      Bm
I say I'm angry at myself but I'm not sure that it helps you
       Em                  G      D
In a dream I leave without saying goodbye
D                     F#m                             Em
I am walking down the street alone
I wanna call him, then I freeze
               G       D
I can't fathom another lie

D                            F#m                                     Bm
It takes all my strength and will to suppress these feelings all the time
              Em                   G             D
So I shut off without a reason
To disengage, to reply
D                        F#m                            Em
And then I beg myself to write it down
I don't need to prove 'nothin
       G       D              C         A
I just need to get some of it out


Chorus:
D
You knock on the door as a friend
F#m
My heart drops again
                  G
It feels like the room is
A
shaking
D
I hide myself in a closet       (I hide myself in a closet)
F#m
Just as scared as I am excited  (Just as scared as I am excited)
G
Far more unsure
A
Than I've ever been


Verse 2:
D                         F#m                       Em
The further that I get in time the more I believe I crossed the line (I crossed the line!)
             G            D
You played a game with my mind
D                      F#m                    Em
I wanna comfort like a child, don't listen to me right now
     G         D           C       A
So I can crawl out of this house


Chorus:
D
You knock on the door as a friend
F#m
My heart drops again
G
It feels like the room is
A
shaking
D
So I hide myself in a closet    (I hide myself in a closet)
F#m
Just as scared as I am excited  (Just as scared as I am excited)
G
I'll never lose him
A
If I pretend there’s more


Bridge:
                      D
And it seems like the older I get
    F#m
The more I become lenient
                G
To this kind of behavior
               A
I should never allow
D                       A
But I'm not the scorekeeper
Em                 G
I just observe and learn
    D               A
The warm blanket of anger
Em              G
Covering all my fears
    D                  A
And I'll never let you down
  Em                     G
I just need to drown him out


Outro:
D                   A
You wake me from my nightmares
Em              G            D
Kissing away my tears
