                       C
Would you say that you looked up?
      Bm
Don't take me for what I'm sayin'

  Sharp and it is jagged
                  G                      D
Like the shape of glass and it steals my voice

Verse 1:
G                      C
 No two people are the same
G                           C
 Stand beside you, but just far enough away
G                    C
 Last night we were drinking
                        G
Tried to think away the pain
          C
Made that age old mistake
   G
Tried to disconnect my body
        C
From my soul, from my soul
G                          C
See, I feel alright already on my own


Pre-Chorus:
               G        C           G    C
Can you let me be intoxicated on my own?
             G                C
Do I need to answer and right my wrongs?
     G               C
Am I home if I don't know this place?


Chorus:
              C       G         D                Em
And I've been feelin' alienated on my spaceship alone
        C                         G
Say goodbye to the past, leave it all with a laugh
           D                           Em
'Cause you all was just right and all alone


Verse 2:
G                        C
 Know my reasons for the pain
G                             C
 If you bought it in front of me
                      Bm
I know I'd do it all again
          C
Call them beer can gains
G                                   C
I know from all these yеars that my feelings never changed


Pre-Chorus:
               G        C           G    C
Can you let me be intoxicated on my own?
             G                C
Do I need to answer and right my wrongs?
     G               C
Am I home if I don't know this place?


Chorus:

Say goodbye to the past, leave it all with a laugh
           D                           Em
'Cause you all was just right and all alone


Verse 3:
        G                             C
Did the wings make the noise, did you change?
        G                           C
Can the wings on your skin help you fly away
G                  C
'Cause it's so miserated
        F             C            D
And the clouds always grey in your way


Chorus:
                C       G         D                Em
Yeah, I've been feelin' alienated on my spaceship alone

Say goodbye
G         C
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
G       C
 Ah, ah-ah

D           A
 Got a grip on my heart, now it's stolen

Swear you flowin' through my blood
                         Em    Bm
Must be somethin' in the water
                      D       A
On the edge until you pull me in

Cmaj7
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Verse 2:
  Bm
I might let myself sink
D                     A
Deep into the bottom, can't hear myself think
       Em               Bm
'Cause all I wanna hear is your voice

Pull me out of that void

Verse 2:
Dm
  Always the same
                                 G
Don't think we gain a thing from this

I’m changing my ways

I'll meet you halfway
                Dm
It's all just a game, no one is to blame

Fallin' again and ignite all this place
         G
Makin' excuse, get me out of this place

I know the mistakes, I won't make 'em again

        Dm
I ain’t even liked you

And I never liked you
      G
And I never liked me

'Cause I never had you

Don’t wanna bore you with the details (Ooh)
N.C.
Don't wanna bore you with the pain
N.C.
In truth we both need it
N.C.
More than what we gave
