DmG7BbF
    (x4)
[Verse 1]
Dm                       G7
Everyone and everything around me's always changing
     Bb                           F
Everyone except me I'm stayin the same as if i was nothing
       Dm                                  G7
I dont sing my songs I bleed them, I don't write unless I mean them
        Bb                                    F
Without cold the snow's just rain, without my voice it's all the same
[Chorus]
Dm                 G7
It's ok we're just scared

[Verse 2]
Dm                     G7
I don't really need to sleep much longer
        Bb                  F
But the longer I sleep, the slower my heart beats
        Dm                       G7
There's fire on my floor telling me to sleep some more
   Bb                       F
Cry a little louder if you know what this means
[Chorus]
Dm                 G7
It's ok we're just scared
Bb                 F
It’s ok we’re just scared
Dm                 G7
It’s ok we’re just scared
Bb                 F
It’s ok we’re just scared
It's ok
[Bridge]
Dm   G7             Bb             F
I forgot about the note I left on my back door

But it's alright, I'll stay here inside with my friends who aren't here anymore
G7 Dm F
Dm                G7
Actually you know what
    Bb                   F
The way things are isn't good enough
