Em
On my own volition
            C
I pound my head against the wall
             D
And I don't hear it when you call
Em
Tumbling down the stairway
         C
I still try to make the phone
            D                       C   G D/F#
I call you back but your not home
Em
Full of good intention
            C
I read the paper to myself
         D
I try to act like someone else
Em
Barely past the headline
           C
I still remember what you said
              D
"I'll hold it in until I'm dead"

[Chorus]
C    G  C           G            C
  I best be getting on with this
             G              A5
But I can't get you out my head
C            G C         G          C
Ten times a day when I stop to pray
            G               A5
I ask that you would let me in
       C
Let me in

[Interlude]
Em      C   D

[Verse 2]
Em
Beading on the window
            C
The weather underneath my eyes
       D
Is it rain or am I crying
Em
T.V. in the distance
       C
A5 I awake or still asleep
          D
I feel a hand against my cheek

[Chorus]
C    G  C           G            C
  I best be getting on with this
             G              A5
But I can't get you out my head
C            G C         G          C
Ten times a day when I stop to pray
            G               A5
I ask that you would let me in
       C
Let me in

[Bridge]
F           G
Like every time before
F            G
I'll sing a metaphor
F                    G               A5
To try to shed some light inside my mind
F              G
A lot of good will that do
F              G
I can't get inside of you
F                          G                    A5
To take back the back the past and make things new
      G/B    C
Make things new

[Guitar Solo]
Em     C  D  (x2)

[Out-Chorus]
C    G  C           G            C
  I best be getting on with this
             G              A5
But I can't get you out my head
C            G C         G          C
Ten times a day when I stop to pray
            G               A5
I ask that you would let me in
       C
Let me in
       A5
Let me in
              C          Em
You would let me in
