INTRO:

G  F  C  Cm  F

VERSE 1:

G                    F                        C
I said I told you everything I left something out
      Cm       F
Underneath the stairwell
G                       F                         C
That I'm under lock and key, but you can probably tell
      Cm          F
I'm a king of my...in a prison cell 

PRE-CHORUS:

Am      D                  Em             C
I wanna return but all you do is turn and sleep
Am                   D         (Ebm)     Em         C
If I can find my way home, will you take hold of me

CHORUS:
                G
I've been going so long
          D
I can barely say
              Em            C
All I know is now I want to stay
            G
Has it been too long
             D
Since I went away
                    Em
Cause I'm trying to find the words
    C
But I can barely say

VERSE 2:
(Same chords as verse 1)

Well I use to be the sun 
Waiting silently but they barely noticed me
But I've been talking in my sleep
When anybody sees
They turn and run from me

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Am          D
I wanted to run
            Em                   Am 
I wanted to love and be loved in return
                    D
But will I ever get back
Ebm  Em                C
Do I know too much too return

INSTRUMENTAL:
G F C Cm F

CHORUS

OUTRO:
G F C Cm F
