[Verse]
Is there a place we can Ego
ECause I miss the times we spent alone
Just had to gAet this off my chest
AYou're the only one who knew me the best
18 and begging for bEones
ESet to to carry me back home
From the dAistance I heard, "Hey!"
AI wanna be the one that takes you away
I wanna C#mbe the one that takes you awBay
HeyA  
[Chorus]
I felt the dErugs, they were kicking in
EI felt your legs as they wrapped me in
Oh pAlease don't let me go
ADon't ever let me go
I never thought I could be so alone, so alEone
Ooh-ooh-oAoh
[Verse]
Back in the summer '0E4

Well I fC#mound it kind of funny had to aBsk your dad for money
To get a cAab back to my place
Called me when I C#mgot homeB  
Told me yAou just needed space

[Verse]

Is there a place we can go

Cause I miss the times we spent alone

Just had to get this off my chest

You're the only one who knew me the best

18 and begging for bones

Set to to carry me back home

From the distance I heard, "Hey!"

I wanna be the one that takes you away

C#m B

I wanna be the one that takes you away

Hey

[Chorus]

I felt the drugs, they were kicking in

I felt your legs as they wrapped me in

Oh please don't let me go

Don't ever let me go

I never thought I could be so alone, so alone

Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse]

Back in the summer '04

Stole your parents brews and passed out on the floor

Moved to the sound of the beating door

You said "what are you laughing for?"

C#m B

Well I found it kind of funny had to ask your dad for money

To get a cab back to my place

C#m B

Called me when I got home

Told me you just needed space

[Chorus]

I felt the drugs, they were kicking in

I felt your legs as they wrapped me in

Oh please don't let me go

Don't ever let me go

I never thought I could be so alone

I saw the room as it started to spin

I felt my blood and it was runnin' thin

Oh please don't let me go

Don't ever let me go

C#m

I never thought I could be so alone, so alone

[Bridge]

C#m A

The only thing I've ever known

I remembered every awful show about young love

C#m

And you never got enough of me

And it's clear to see

It's the only thing I've ever known

F#m A

18 and begging for bones

[Chorus]

I felt the drugs, they were kicking in

I felt your legs as they wrapped me in

Oh please don't let me go

Don't ever let me go

I never thought I could be so alone

I saw the room as it started to spin

I felt my blood and it was runnin' thin

Oh please don't let me go

Don't ever let me go

I never thought I could be so alone

[Outro]

C#m B

Is there a place we can go

Cause I miss the times we spent alone
