While you were asleep

Pulled my hood to block the light from the TV

Turned the volume up to distract me from constant noises

G F Em Dm C

Leaking under the apartment door

G C

It doesn't help

F Am Em Am

I get up and I crawl out and don't hear more

Make a barricade of full trash bags and empty boxes

Perched behind them, closely watching

[Verse]

C G C

While you were asleep

F Am Em Am

On the couch, watching a movie, smoking weed

C7 Dm Dm7

Rummaging through the utensils in the kitchen counter,

G F Em Dm

In the drainer, which one's sharper.

C G C

When the light creeps in

F Am Em Am

loosen my grip and crawl back into my bed.

C7 Dm Dm7

Your alarm is set to go off in a half an hour.

Eyes closed. Fake snore. None the wiser.

[Chorus]

C G C F Dm

Victoria made me happy

C#dim Dm7 G C

Now I can only be scared

G/B G/Bb A7

And people tell me that time can fix the wound.

But that's crap.

'Cause she's not coming back

G C

And life's unfair.

G C F Dm

I'm always anxious and worried.

I'm always freaked out and scared.

And people tell me that time can fix the wound.

But that's crap.

Dm7/C G

Vicki's not coming back.

And I scream

[Bridge]

Dm G

"Why did I get left behind?"

Em A

I know it's an exaggeration

Dm G

to say I would rather die than

Em A Dm

share this place with people capable

G E7

of inspiring such fear and hopelessness

Am Am/C G

that I'm frozen in my bed...

but that sums it up.

[Verse]

C G C

Teenage halloween

Hot safety pins in nozzles of shaving cream

Spend the evening spraying cars, toilet papering houses

What's the harm in smashing pumpkins?

Decades on, with kids

F Am Em

And I don't let them stay out past dark.

Am C7 Dm

I sit on the front porch with a shotgun

Dm7

While they're upstairs sleeping.

Total darkness.

Love. Protection.
