 G   E   A   D(2x)
[Verse 1]
There's not Gmuch here for me
When I'm here, I don't feel Efree
But when I'm Amthere, I feel alive
It's what I need to surDvive
No offGense, you're all great
But it really is too Elate
To change my Ampersonality
It's just my realDity
And I Gdo not blame you
For questioning what I Edo
It doesn't Ammatter
Well, Etechnically it Ammatters to me
But it Dshouldn't matter to you
[Chorus]
GI don't need any substance
In Eorder to feel Amhigh
I can't stop Dyou from asking GwhyC  Cmaj7  C7  Cmaj7

It's Eno one's fault but Ammine
And Etrust me I'll be Amfine
As long as DI have my alGone timeC  G  C

[Verse 2]
I'm still in Glove with myself
With my purpose, with my Ehealth
And with the Amgoal I have in mind
Just the thought helps me unDwind
I don't Gdoubt you're the same
Picture with a different Eframe
If you won't Amtell, I will not ask
What you hide behind the Dmask
I don't Greally have a clue
Despite what I think is Etrue
I'm so preAmtentious
While EI might be preAmtentious
I'm still Dno better than you
[Chorus]
GI don't need any substance

I can't stop Dyou from asking GwhyC  Cmaj7  C7  Cmaj7

[Intro]

G E A D

(2x)

[Verse 1]

There's not much here for me

When I'm here, I don't feel free

But when I'm there, I feel alive

It's what I need to survive

No offense, you're all great

But it really is too late

To change my personality

It's just my reality

And I do not blame you

For questioning what I do

It doesn't matter

E Am

Well, technically it matters to me

But it shouldn't matter to you

[Chorus]

I don't need any substance

E Am

In order to feel high

D G C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7

I can't stop you from asking why

Why I choose to live this way

E Am

It's no one's fault but mine

E Am

And trust me I'll be fine

D G C G C

As long as I have my alone time

C G C G C

My alone time

[Verse 2]

I'm still in love with myself

With my purpose, with my health

And with the goal I have in mind

Just the thought helps me unwind

I don't doubt you're the same

Picture with a different frame

If you won't tell, I will not ask

What you hide behind the mask

I don't really have a clue

Despite what I think is true

I'm so pretentious

E Am

While I might be pretentious

I'm still no better than you

[Chorus]

I don't need any substance

E Am

In order to feel high

D G C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7

My alone time

[Bridge]

When I'm all alone

It doesn't matter what I do

Because no matter what

Em E

As long as that door's shut

Not once do I

Wish that I could be like you

[Verse 3]

Sadly, I know it's wrong

And I knew it all along

I just thought it would be nice

To not have to pay the price

You are someone I adore

What do you think I'm on life for

But you're an individual

You have your own schedule

We are both mostly free

There's so many sights to see

Am E Am

It isn't worth it, I mean it might be worth it

If the sights could come to me

[Chorus]

I won't pretend I'm perfect

E Am

I'm not even close

D G C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7

I screwed up more often than most

But in our darkest moments

E Am

Together, we'll be fine

E Am

We'll help each other climb

E Am

I'll help you reach your prime

E Am D G C D G D G

I'll make sure you can find me when I'm done with my alone time
