[Intro]

One, two, three

[Verse 1]
              Dm                C
Ain't no peace at the top
    F
I don't know how much air I got
            Dm          Bb         Am
I won't ever get used to this
               Dm                C
'Cause it ain't what it seems
         F
And don't nobody check on me
          Gm              Am       Dm
It's a slow way to go, all alone

[Chorus]
Dm                                      C
How you get lonely even though
                    F
You're surrounded by the ones you know?
Dm        Bb                             Am
Killing myself, saying these words
                 Dm                                   C
There's a hurting deep down in my soul
          F
But I learn not to let it show
                  Bb Am
Do I need help?
Dm
No

[Verse 2]
                Dm             C
There's a price I'ma pay
        F
For hiding feelings I don't say
                Dm         Bb         Am
Keep my cool or I lose my way
           Bb               C
Try to talk to the wind
        F
But ooh, I just can't pretend
         Bb               Am           Dm
I'm a man, man without a friend

[Chorus]
Dm                                       C
How you get lonely even though
                   F
You're surrounded by the ones you know?
           Dm          Bb                Am
Killing myself, saying these words
                 Dm                                 C
There's a hurting right now in my soul
          F
But I learn never let it show
                  Bb Am
Do I need help?
Dm
No, no, no
Dm                                       C
How you get lonely even though
                    F
You're surrounded by the ones you know?
            Dm         Bb                Am
Killing myself, saying these words
                 Dm                                    C
There's a hurting deep down in my soul
          F
But I learn never let it show
                  Bb Am
Do I need help?
Dm
No, no, no, no, no
