        Bm
Just in case, I will leave my things packed

   D            Bm
So I can run away

                             D
I cannot trust these voices

        Bm                                A
I don't have a line of prospects that can give some kind of peace

         Bm                                A
There is nothing left to cling to that can bring me sweet release
[Pre-Chorus]
          G       D
I have no fear of drowning

         A                Bm
It's the breathing that's taking all this work
[Chorus]
       G           A           Bm            A/C#        G
Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"?

       A           Bm            A           Bm
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"
A/C# D Em D/F# G D/F# Em Bm A/C# D Em D/F# G D/F# Em [Verse 2]
      Bm
Empty spaces with shadows hit by street lights

D                 Bm                             D
Warning signs and weight of tired conversations

       Bm                            A
In the absence of a shoulder, in the abscess of a thief

       Bm                                A
On the brink of this destruction, on the eve of bittersweet
[Pre-Chorus]
            G                D                A
Now all the demons look like prophets and I'm living out

Bm                      Bm/A
Every word they speak, (every word they speak)

Bm                      Bm/A
Every word they speak, (every word they speak)
G A Bm [Chorus]
       G           A           Bm            A/C#         G
Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"?

       A           Bm            A           G
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"

       A           Bm            A           Bm
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"
[Instrumental] Bm E G E G [Chorus]

Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"?

       A           Bm            A           G
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"

       A           Bm            A           G
What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"

Alone, alone, I don't want to be alone
