Capo 1 
 C   FX2
CLeave it aFlone
We Cfinished this Fup like an Ghour ago
So Cleave me aFlone
I Cplanted it Fonce, just asGsumed it would grow
Even Fthough, when I Gthink
Its CrepliGcated Ffear Cthrows me Goff for Fyears
C F C F G
So Ctake me or Fdon't
A Cthree hour Fdrive but we Ggot nowhere close
You Cread what I Fwrote
But Cyou tuned the Fsound out to Gmake sure I know
Even though FI can't Gsee, I feel it's Calways Ghaunting Fme
CKicking Gout my Ffeet
CRuining GeveryFthing
 C   FX2
So Ctake me Falone
Cause if Cit's not with Fyou, I've got Gno place to go
Your Cbrags turn to Fboasts
And into Cfights lasting Fhours aGbout your dad's ghost
AlFthough you can't Gsay it yet
It's Cnever Gbeen the Fsame
And it Clooks to Gstay that Fway
It Cfeels like Gyou're Fokay
AmWhen I was a Ffire I turned into Cice
Melting off my last Gfeverish highs
And I Amleapt through the sunshine and Finto the night
Singing Csongs of my healthiest Gfears
 C   F   C   F   GX2
So Ctake me or Fdon't
I've Cbuilt up this Fkingdom you'd Ghopefully loathe
If we Cend up aFlone
A Cplague on my Fhead and a Gcurse in my home

Capo 1

C F

Leave it alone

C F G

We finished this up like an hour ago

C F

So leave me alone

C F G

I planted it once, just assumed it would grow

F G

Even though, when I think

C G F C G F

Its replicated fear throws me off for years

C F C F G

C F

So take me or don't

C F G

A three hour drive but we got nowhere close

C F

You read what I wrote

C F G

But you tuned the sound out to make sure I know

F G C G F

Even though I can't see, I feel it's always haunting me

C G F

Kicking out my feet

C G F

Ruining everything

C F

So take me alone

C F G

Cause if it's not with you, I've got no place to go

C F

Your brags turn to boasts

C F G

And into fights lasting hours about your dad's ghost

F G

Although you can't say it yet

C G F

It's never been the same

C G F

And it looks to stay that way

C G F

It feels like you're okay

Am F C

When I was a fire I turned into ice

Melting off my last feverish highs

Am F

And I leapt through the sunshine and into the night

C G

Singing songs of my healthiest fears

C F C F G

C F

So take me or don't

C F G

I've built up this kingdom you'd hopefully loathe

C F

If we end up alone

C F G

A plague on my head and a curse in my home
