  Take me back to LA
                               G#m
Where the sun would kiss on my face
                               B
Now the sunshine tracks my skin
             E
I stayed too long
                  C#
Take me back to a time
                                G#m
When my blood never tasted like wine
                     B
My love could fill a sea
                              E
But now I can't even feel the breeze

                           C#
And it hurts when I think about
                           G#m
The nights we would always shout
                           B
My voice cracking when we scream
               E
You scream, we scream
                                   C#
And I watched while you wiped your eyes (Wiped your eyes)
                        G#m
Thеn I learned to cover minе
                     B
And that's when I realized that

                          E
It's better when I'm by myself, yeah
     C#
By myself
         G#m
Uh, by myself, yeah
B                             E
Oh, it's better when I'm by myself

                  C#
Take me back to a place
                                G#m
Where the snow would fall on my face
                         B
And I miss my city lights
           E
I left too young
                  C#
Take me back to a time
                                    G#m
The trophies that I had would still shine
                            B
Now I have nothing real left
          E
I want my soul

                           C#
And it hurts when I think about (Think about)
                        G#m
The days I would tell myself
                    B
It's okay for me to scream
              E
To scream, to scream
                       C#
I put my hand over the fire ('Ver the fire)
                       G#m
And see if I can still cry (Can still cry)
                     B
And that's when I realize that

                        E
I hate it when I'm by myself
    C#
By myself (Oh)
     G#m
By myself
B                           E
Oh, I hate it when I'm by myself (Oh)
      C#
Oh, myself
         G#m
Oh, by myself
                           B
(I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be)
                        E
I hate it when I'm by myself
