Intro
Em
Verse
Em
I'm listening to broken records, playing all the old hits
C
He-saids, she-saids, taking over my head
G Bm D
Like they were my favourite songs
Em
I'm up against the jury again, memory's a hangman
C
I just feel like burning up the evidence
G Bm D
Of everything that I did wrong
Em C
And I just wanna be alone tonight
G Bm D
I wanna sit and drink until my head gets right
Em C
'Till I can't remember what I left behind
G Bm D
So leave me, alone tonight
Chorus
Em C G Bm D
Em C G Bm D
Verse
Em
I'm trapped inside a chain of memories, strong enough to hold me
C
No one sees the demons that surround me
G Bm D
A prisoner in my own mind
Em
And even if there's no forgiveness, maybe I'll forget these
C
Little treasons, coming back to haunt me
G Bm D
Yeah I've already done my time
Em C
So tonight, I'm, drowning out the, goodbyes
G Bm D
Sinking into waves, of, sweet oblivion
Em C
And I just wanna be alone tonight
G Bm D
I wanna sit and drink until my head gets right
Em C
'Till I can't remember what I left behind
G Bm D
So leave me, alone tonight
Chorus
Em C G Bm D
Em C G Bm D
Verse
Em C
So tonight, I'm, drowning out the, goodbyes
G Bm D
Sinking into waves, of, sweet oblivion
Em C
And I'll try to wash away the white lies
G Bm D
And find a way to get by, even though it hurts
Em
Never could imagine it would feel like this
Em C
And I just wanna be alone tonight
G Bm D
I wanna sit and drink until my head gets right
Em C
'Till I can't remember what I left behind
G Bm D
So leave me, alone tonight
[Refrão]Chorus
