[Intro]
C Am Em G C Am Em G
C Am Em D C Am Em
[Verse 1]
C Am I've been away, a little while, sometimes I just can't help myself Em G When my mind's running wild, I seem to lose grip on reality C Am Em D And I try to disregard the crazy things the voices tell me to do, but it's no use
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C Am I tried to own it, write songs about it Em G Believe me I tried, in the end I needed to breathe C Am Find inspiration, some kind of purpose Em D To take a second to face the shit that makes me, me
[Chorus]
C Am All I needed was the last thing I wanted Em D To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud C Am Every moment, every second, every trespass Em Every awful thing, every broken dream C Am Em A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage D C Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page Am All I needed was the last thing I wanted Em To be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Verse 2]
C Am I saw the world a couple times, tried to cure the ache with absence Em G But that hole was still a hole and my mind kept playing tricks on me C Am Em Feeling older every day, took everything I had to not crash and burn D6 But I'm starting to learn
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C Am Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope Em G C But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground Am I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here Em D So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me
[Chorus]
C Am All I needed was the last thing I wanted Em D To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud C Am Every moment, every second, every trespass Em Every awful thing, every broken dream C Am Em A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage D C Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page Am All I needed was the last thing I wanted Em To be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Post-Chorus]
Em (Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone) Em (Alone, alone, alone, alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone) Em ('lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lone)
[Instrumental Break]

C Am Em D I can be better than I was C Am Em C I can be better than I am Am All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em N.C.
To sit alone in a room
[Chorus]
C Am All I needed was the last thing I wanted Em D To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud C Am Every moment, every second, every trespass Em Every awful thing, every broken dream C Am Em A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage D C Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page Am All I needed was the last thing I wanted Em To be alone in a room, alone in a room
