[Intro]
F#m7   D   F#m7   D   F#m7   D   A    E
F#m7Standing in this rDoom
well I sF#m7ee a lot of thiDngs
ImF#m7ages that grab my Dheart
PulAling at my striEngs
F#m7I've been told a huDndred times iF#m7t's something I must Ddo
it's F#m7easier to saD/Ey when it's not Ayou
And Gall my fear just sits inside, fDighting to get Aout
wouGld anyone come running if they Dheard somebody sAhout
is Bmthis what getting oldAer's all aGbout?
I've beeAn held, accEused, I've been Alost, and coDnfused
AI've been the Eboulder and the Dstone
I've been Aled astrEay, I've been Aput on dispDlay
But I've never been alC#m7one... Hey
F#m7I've unwrapped my piDctures and I've F#m7hung them on the wDalls
I'vF#m7e used double hDooks to ensurAe that they won't Efall
WF#m7hen I swept away the Ddust and I put my F#m7blanket on the beDd
EverythF#m7ing is in order D/Eexcept my heAad
You seGe I've never had to bolt the door, afDraid of what's Aoutside
I've Gnever had to face the world wDithout you as my guAide
It's Bmone long paAinful suicGide
I've been Ahurt, abusEed, I've been Aasked and reDfused
AI've been the silEence and the dDrone
I've been bAought, and Esold, I've been Afought, I've beeDn told
but I've never beeC#m7n alone
And I feel claustroF#m7phobic, I'A7ve lost the comfort that I've Dfound
COh, my body is screaC/Bming that there's no one arAm7ound
D    Am6   D     A
HeeeeGyA  Em  
Oh, lookiGng in the mirror thDere's a stranger's face I Asee
SGomeone else's anguisDh but their tears belong Ato me
anBm7d I notice how theAy fall so easGily
I've been hAeld accuEsed, I've been Alost and coDnfusedA  
I've been the boEulder and the stDone
I've been leAd astrEay, I've beeAn put on dispDlay
Yeah, I've been hAurt, abEused, I've beeAn asked, and reDfused
I've been the siElence and the dDrone
I've been bAought, and sEold, I've been Afought, I've been Dtold
but I've never bEeen aloneD

Standing in this room

well I see a lot of things

F#m7 D

Images that grab my heart

Pulling at my strings

F#m7 D F#m7 D

I've been told a hundred times it's something I must do

F#m7 D/E A

it's easier to say when it's not you

G D A

And all my fear just sits inside, fighting to get out

would anyone come running if they heard somebody shout

is this what getting older's all about?

But I've never been alone... Hey

I've unwrapped my pictures and I've hung them on the walls

When I swept away the dust and I put my blanket on the bed

Everything is in order except my head

You see I've never had to bolt the door, afraid of what's outside

G D A

I've never had to face the world without you as my guide

Bm A G

It's one long painful suicide

A E A D

I've been hurt, abused, I've been asked and refused

A E D

I've been the silence and the drone

A E A D

I've been bought, and sold, I've been fought, I've been told

C#m7

but I've never been alone

And I feel claustrophobic, I've lost the comfort that I've found

Oh, my body is screaming that there's no one around

Someone else's anguish but their tears belong to me

and I notice how they fall so easily

A E A D A

I've been held accused, I've been lost and confused

I've been the boulder and the stone

I've been the silence and the drone
