And there's so many things that I just can't be sure about

But you went along with it, you didn't question a thing.
Verse 1
C Am7 C
I gave a name to my pain, hoping that I could push it away
Am7
But, of course, it stayed
Em C G Am7 Em
It hits in waves at first, and then all at once
C G Am7 Em
Stood alone in the silence of what I had lost
C G Am7
Tried to find whoever told my mind
Em C G
To speed up, to speed up, to speed up
Chorus
C
You arrive at the gate

And they turn you away

And you're crushed by the weight
Am7
Of the games that they play
C Am7
They deprive you of it.

Then sell you a supplement.

You turned around, I was halfway down River Street
C Am7
Said, "I need to leave, this apartment is killing me"
Em C G Am7 Em
Opened the door to my doubt and I let it all in.

I breathe in and breathe out before heading back in.

Always one step behind
Am7 Em C G
Wondering when I'll get out, I'll get out, I'll get out

They deprive you of it.
