[Intro] E C#m G#m F#m E C#m G#m [Verse 1]
          E
I've been away, a little while

    C#m
Sometimes I just can't help myself

        G#m
When my mind's running wild

          F#
I seem to lose grip on reality

      E
And I try to disregard

          C#m                          G#m
The crazy things the voices tell me to do

             F#
But it's no use
[Pre-Chorus 1]
E                    C#m
  I tried to own it, write songs about it

G#m                           F#
  Believe me, I tried, in the end, I needed to breathe

E                  C#m
  Find inspiration, some kind of purpose

G#m                     F#                E C#m G#m
  To take a second to face what makes me, me
[Chorus]
E                      C#m
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted

G#m                    F#                     E
  To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud

                    C#m
Every moment, every second, every trespass

G#m                B                   E
  Every awful thing, every broken dream

                           C#m
A couple of years back and forth with myself in a cage

G#m                               F#
  Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna' put words on a page

E                      C#m
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted

G#m                     B
  To sit alone in a room, alone in a room
[Verse 2]
          E
I see the world a couple of times

         C#m
Tried to cure the ache with absence

         G#m
But that hole was still a hole

       F#
And my mind kept playing tricks on me

        E
Feeling older every day

          C#m                            G#m
Took everything I had to not crash and burn

                      F#
But I'm starting to learn
[Pre-Chorus 2]
E                          C#m
  Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope

G#m                         F#
  But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground

E                   C#m
  I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here

G#m                           F#                   E C#m G#m
  So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me, me
[Chorus]
E                      C#m
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted

G#m                    F#                     E
  To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud

                    C#m
Every moment, every second, every trespass

G#m                B                  E
  Every awful thing, every broken dream

                           C#m
A couple of years back and forth with myself in a cage

G#m                               F#
  Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna' put words on a page

E                      C#m
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted

G#m                     B                 E C#m G#m F#
  To sit alone in a room, alone in a room

              E C#m G#m F#
Alone in a room
[Bridge]
       E C#m G#m
'Cause I can be

F#
Better than I was

E C#m G#m
I can be

F#               E
Better than I am
[Outro]
E                      C#m
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted

G#m                    F#                      E
  To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud

                    C#m
Every moment, every second, every trespass

G#m                B                  E
  Every awful thing, every broken dream

                           C#m
A couple of years back and forth with myself in a cage

G#m                              F#
  Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna' put words on a page

E                      C#m
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted

G#m                     B                 E C#m G#m F#
  To sit alone in a room, alone in a room

              E C#m G#m
Alone in a room
