Verse 1:
G                                C
We lay on our backs out on the front yard
EM                                         C
Holding your right hand, I say life’s been so hard
G

The shade of the tree we planted
C
It grew strong with roots and branches
EM                             C
But it’s just not ours anymore
G                                          C
We build these walls high, they blend into the sky
EM                                    C
Thick skin and bones defend us from outside
G                       C
The way we lost it all, I think it made you strong
EM                          C
But I don’t feel that anymore

Chorus:
EM
I feel nothing at all, yeah I trip and I fall
C
Running straight into walls while you’re suffering withdrawals
G                        ?
When will I ever get a better hand?
EM
I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat
C
Have my back to the coast at the end of my rope
EM                     ?
Oh, will I ever be a better man?

                        EM ? G C
Am I meant to be alone?
EM ? G C
Am I meant to be alone?

Verse 2:
G                                C
We lay on our backs on the hood of my car
EM                                         C
Holding my right hand, you point out the North Star
G                       C
Show me the way ahead, guide me with light I said
EM                         C
Cause I can’t see straight anymore
G                        C
Everyone left me all at once then
EM                         C
Honestly, I couldn’t even blame them
G
I’ve been a shitty friend
C
I don’t know where you went
EM                      C
I just can’t handle any more

Chorus:
EM
I feel nothing at all, yeah I trip and I fall
C
Running straight into walls while you’re suffering withdrawals
G                        ?
When will I ever get a better hand?
EM
I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat
C
Have my back to the coast at the end of my rope
EM                     ?
Oh, will I ever be a better man?

                        EM ? G C
Am I meant to be alone?
                        EM ? G C
Am I meant to be alone?
Am I meant to be alone?
