================================
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#m     Bm     E     A     C#
F#m     Bm     E     A     C#


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


CHORUS:
D                    A
When there's nobody around you,
             E
no one to profound you
              F#m
Just leave me alone,

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


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


[CHORUS]


SOLO:
F#m     Bm     E     A     C#
F#m     Bm     E     A     C#
F#m     Bm     E     A     C#
F#m     Bm     E     A     C#


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


[CHORUS X 2]
