================================
NOTES:
1. Use barre chords with a ska/reggae rhythm (except for the power chords during the outro).
2. E should be played as a C-shaped barre chord except during the bridge, where it 
should be played as an open chord.
3. If you want to play this song with all open chords (or on a ukulele or 
something), try transposing it +3 half steps.
4. These lyrics and chords are only how I interpreted the song, so feel free to 
experiment/substitute/comment/etc. if you disagree!
5. Enjoy!

INTRO:
F#5     B5     E5     A5     C#5
F#5     B5     E5     A5     C#5


VERSE 1:
F#5                         B5
Wake up in bed screaming so silently
E5                      A5       C#5
Punch out the walls of insecurity
F#5                          B5
Make up instead and say that I'll be fine
E5                              A5       C#5
I spread these kinds of rumors all the time
F#5                    B5
My barricade is like a prison fence
            E5                                  A5       C#5
The way I'm feeling when I smile: "They really make no sense"
F#5                           B5
Lights in my room just like a starry night
E5                          A5
And that's the way that it goes,
                C#5
that's just the way that it goes


CHORUS:
D5                    A5
When there's nobody around you,
             E5
no one to profound you
              F#5
Just leave me alone,

don't leave me by myself
D5                      A5
I see no friends, only strangers
                   C#5
that don't know my danger


VERSE 2:
F#5                      B5
I drink my coffee from a paper cup
E5                        A5        C#5
It doesn't keep my hands warm enough
F#5                         B5
Making some plans so I have something to break
E5                       A5            C#5
Looking alive so I have something to fake
F#5                            B5
There's no protection when the demons come
E5                             A5     C#5
I hear the screaming pound on my eardrums
F#5                            B5
This house is haunted now that nobody knows
E5                       A5
That's just way that it goes
                C#5
that's just the way that it goes


[CHORUS]


SOLO:
F#5     B5     E5     A5     C#5
F#5     B5     E5     A5     C#5
F#5     B5     E5     A5     C#5
F#5     B5     E5     A5     C#5


BRIDGE:
B5
Tell me that this is a dream
            F#5              E5
Give me the weightlessness I need
             B5
I'm floating around this room now
             F#5        E5
Escaping the memory stampede
              B5
I think I can see my mother
           F#5               E5
Living without her's made me weak
               B5
I'm fighting a losing battle
       F#5              E5
I am a game of hide and seek


[CHORUS X 2]
