G                  C   G
You must retreat now

                     C   D/F#
I just can't talk anymore

                          G   Cmaj7
Your words make me empty inside

                          G
There's nothing left of you

G                  C   G
Time seems to change

Thoughts I have for you

Now I'm so alive but you seem to be

C                     Dsus4
Drowning every minute

D                 Dsus4
But that's life

D
I say it's alright
[Chorus]
G
I can't be your answer and

I don't want to follow you into your cloud
[Verse 2]

I...    I am tired of being the one

                          G   Cmaj7
To live and learn from your mistakes

                      G     C  G
I'm just so sick of my mind

                   C   D/F#
It sees us like a light

                       G   Cmaj7
Shining bright in the middle

                             Dsus4
Don't you see us smiling now

D                   Dsus4
You say that's life

D
I say it's alright
[Chorus 2]
G
I can't be your answer and

Cadd9                 D               Am    C
I don't want to follow you into your cloud

G

I don't want to follow you into your cloud

G                 C  G
Please open your eyes

                    C       D/F#
See where you sleep tonight

                          G
I hope you never call it home

           Cmaj7                            Dsus4
But you're bound to live bound to die in it

D                       Dsus4
And you say that's life

D
I say I'll still be here
[Outro Chorus]

I can't be your answer and

Cadd9                 D               Am    C

G
I can't be your answer and

Cadd9                 D               Am    C
I don't want to follow you into your cloud
