[Intro]
C Am Em G C Am Em G
C Am Em D C Am Em
[Verse 1]
C Am
I've been away, a little while, sometimes I just can't help myself
Em G
When my mind’s running wild, I seem to lose grip on reality
C Am Em D
And I try to disregard the crazy things the voices tell me to do, but it's no use
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
I tried to own it, write songs about it
Em G
Believe me I tried, in the end I needed to breathe
C Am
Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
Em D
To take a second to face the shit that makes me, me
[Chorus]
C Am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em D
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
C Am
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Em
Every awful thing, every broken dream
C Am Em
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
D C
Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page
Am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em
To be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Verse 2]
C Am
I saw the world a couple times, tried to cure the ache with absence
Em G
But that hole was still a hole and my mind kept playing tricks on me
C Am Em
Feeling older every day, took everything I had to not crash and burn
D6
But I'm starting to learn
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope
Em G C
But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground
Am
I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here
Em D
So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me
[Chorus]
C Am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em D
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
C Am
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Em
Every awful thing, every broken dream
C Am Em
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
D C
Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page
Am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em
To be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Post-Chorus]
Em
(Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone)
Em
(Alone, alone, alone, alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone)
Em
('lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lone)
[Instrumental]
C Am Em D C Am Em
[Bridge]
C Am Em D
I can be better than I was
C Am Em C
I can be better than I am
Am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em N.C.
To sit alone in a room
[Chorus]
C Am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em D
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
C Am
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Em
Every awful thing, every broken dream
C Am Em
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
D C
Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page
Am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em
To be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Outro]
