[Verse 1]
GAt 14 I used to talk to myself
Paint my Embedroom with starsG  
One for each time my dad flaked out
Got a Emgalaxy of scarsC  
You know that feeling that you get when ya Emstart to run out of breath
And ya Gpass out, wake up, wig out not Dknowing where you are
[Pre-Chorus]
CI’m safer here inside my submEmarine
‘Cause wChen I’m under water you can’t Emsay anythDing
I can’t Emhear anytDhing
[Chorus]
GO-o-o-ohDio
I don’t need CHollywood
I don’t need GNew York heights or Las DVegas lights
I need GO-o-o-ohDio
I’ve never even Cbeen there
But I’d rather Gfall asleep in an Dopen field in OEmhio
OhCio

[Verse 2]
GLast time I saw your face
You were screaming that I Emdon’t have a clueG  
I’m not a deadbeat piece of shit
Dad, I never Dlearned that from youC  
You know that feeling when you’re weak
And ya, Emwish your brain could delete for ya,
GAll the types of twisted contradictions that I worked so hDard to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m saCfer here inside my subEmmarine
‘Cause Cwhen I’m under water you can’t thEmrow words at Dme
I’m just Emlearning how to Dleap
[Chorus]
GO-o-o-ohDio
