         Bm/D Bm
Just in  case
Bm/D   Bm       Bm/D    Bm
I will leave my things packed
   D              Bm/D Bm
So I can run away
Bm/D     Bm           Bm/D Bm  D
I cannot trust these voices
        Bm
I don't have a lot of prospects
          A9
That can give some kind of peace
          Bm
There is nothing left to cling to
          A9
That can bring me sweet release


                    G      D/F#
I have no fear of drowning
          A9
It's the breathing
        Bm
That's taking all this work


        G
Do you know
        A9
What I mean
        Bm
When I say
         A/C#      G
"I don't wanna be alone"
        A9
What I mean
        Bm
When I say
         A/C#       B9 C# D E F# G F# E
"I don't wanna be alone"

     Bm/D Bm
Empty spaces
    Bm/D Bm       Bm/D Bm
Shadows  hit by streetlights
     D                Bm/D Bm
The warning signs and weight
   Bm/D Bm        Bm/D Bm   D
Of  tired  conversations
 

        G/B          
In the absence of a shoulder
        A9
In the absence of a thief
        G/B
On the brink of this destruction
        A9
On the eve of bittersweet
             G                 D/F#
Now all the demons look like prophets
         A9
And I'm living out
Bm
Every word they speak
Bm                    G A Bm
Every word they speak


       G
Do you know
       A
What I mean
       Bm
When I say
         A/C#        G
"I don't wanna be alone"
        A9
What I mean
        Bm
When I say
         A/C#       G
"I don't wanna be alone"


       A9
What I mean
        Bm
When I say
         A/C#       G
"I don't wanna be alone"


    A9
What I mean
        Bm
When I say
         A         G     D/F# Bm A
"I don't wanna be alone"


          G         D/F#
I have no fear of drowning
           A 
It's the breathing
      Bm
It's taking all this work
