[Verse 1]
GWe lay on our backs out on the frCadd9ont yard
Em7Holding your right hand, I say life’s been sCadd9o hard
GThe shade of the tree we planted
Cadd9It grew strong with roots and branches
Em7But it’s just not ours anymoreCadd9  
GWe build these walls high, they blend into Cadd9the sky
Em7Thick skin and bones defend us from outCadd9side
GThe way we lost it all, Cadd9I think it made you strong
Em7But I don’t feel that anymoreCadd9  
[Chorus]
Em7I feel nothing at all, yeah I trip and I fall
CRunning straight into walls while you’re suffering withdrawals
GWhen will I ever get a beDsus4/F#tter hand?
Em7I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat
CHave my back to the coast at the end of my rope
Em7Oh, will I ever be a betDsus4/F#ter man?
Am I meant to be alone?Em7  Dsus4/F#  G  Cadd9
