Intro: F#m   Bm   E   A   C# (2x)

F#m                         Bm
Wake up the dead screaming so silently
E                      A       C#
Punch out the walls of insecurity
F#m                          Bm
Make up and stand 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

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

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

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


Solo: F#m     Bm     E     A     C# (4x)

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

D                    A
When there s nobody around you,
