Capo 3rd Fret


Intro: Em - C - Em - C

Em
I've been living in and out of alcohol for so long now
       C
That every time I try to wrestle with the truth, I'm lost on how
       Em
I'm a liar and then some, I'm a cheater at best
     C
I'm sick of this wet noose around my neck


           Em
I'm going forwards, looking back
        C
On everything I never had
            Em                            C
Under the weight of all the qualities I lack
Em
And I know it's time to change
              C
It's time to finally act my age
      Em                          -Pause-
Make amends with everyone I pushed away


                      C
Don't leave me on my own
                 Em
Until I'm fully grown
                           D
I'm not gonna be the only one

To reap what I don't sow
                      C
Don't leave me on my own
                 Em
I'm difficult I know
                                    D
But I really need a chance to be someone

Someone I've never known

Break: Em

Em
I've been living in and out of my own head for so long
                    C
I can't recall when I let my heart behind the wheel
Em
I'm a self-righteous hypocrite and I always think I'm right
      C
But still you're asking me to spend the night


           Em
I'm going forwards, looking back
        C
On everything I never had
          Em                              C
Under the weight of all the qualities I lack
      Em
And I know it's time to change
               C
It's time to finally act my age
       Em                       -Pause-
Make amends with everyone I cast away



                      C
Don't leave me on my own
                 Em
Until I'm fully grown
                           D
I'm not gonna be the only one

To reap what I don't sow
                      C
Don't leave me on my own
                 Em
I'm difficult I know
                                    D
But I really need a chance to be someone

Someone I've never known


Am
God bless you and good luck
Em
I can't stop you from giving up
Am
These things you do are not enough
Em             -Pause-
To save me, save me


                      C (Single Strum)
Don't leave me on my own
                 Em (Single Strum)
Until I'm fully grown
                         D (Single Strum)
I'm not gonna be the only one
                    D (Single Strum)
To reap what I don't sow


Instrument/Solo: Em - C


                      C
Don't leave me on my own
                 Em
Until I'm fully grown
                           D
I'm not gonna be the only one

To reap what I don't sow
                      C
Don't leave me on my own
                 Em
I'm difficult I know
                                 D
But I really need a chance to be someone

Someone I've never known


Em    
Oh no no
      
Oh no no
      C
Oh no no
Em
Oh no no

Oh no no
       C                     -Pause-
No no no, don't leave me on my own
