They break and they bend
A E
They take shape and they tend

A E
You all deserve what I am walking towards
D E
If you want, you should move away,"

BRIDGE

Throughout
Why am I scared of people in a room?
Why can't they see a good time are the people close to you?
Why don't I just give in, have a drink and shake some hands?
Oh ay oh, Oh ay oh
Why am I scarred from what she did to me?
Why can't I trust anyone, no, not even me?
why don't I just give in, have a drink and shake some hands?
Oh ay oh, Oh ay oh

Fool everyone, just to start over clean

I can hide behind a big blue screen
E
Or you can return to me (Return to me...)
CHORUS 3
