   C/Dm  
   And I'm sorry I treat you this way
   Deep inside the shell I crawl into
   Crying alone I know I'll get by
   Please stay away I just don't want to see you
   The things that you say I know they're all lies
   But I don't understand what the story's about
   Explain to me please how the sunlight got out
   Please don't leave me here
