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