G Em C

G C

[Verse 1]

Opening my eyes

C D

Seems like it gets harder sometimes

Look at the skylight

Would you be mad at me if I tried running away to it in the night?

I tried to fight

But I'm not strong enough

I just want you here

But I also want to be alone

Em C Am D

I don't know what I want anymore

[Chorus]

G C

Every now and then

G D

The darkness tries to chase me

Oh, please don't

Please don't let it get to me

C G D

Oh, I don't wanna give up that easily

G C Em

But the darkness keeps chasing me, me

G C Em

[Verse 2]

Em C D

Hiding places remind me of you and I

I wanna call you

But if I hear your voice

I just might cry

And I don't even know what the song's about, anymore

And I don't know what I want, anymore

Weather streams down my cheeks

Look to my eyes

D Bm

See you're blowing smoke in your ripped jeans

Don't tell me you fell in

The darkness is already seeping through

Oh, can't you see?

I will be different

I'm not sure if I can do it all alone

God, I want to be different

But I'm not sure if I can do it on my own

[Chorus]
