[Verse 1]
G D Em
Don't comfort me 'cause I'm afraid
C
I might embarrass myself
G D Em
It won't bring out the best in me
C
And I'm so tired of myself
G C D
Just meet me on the roof at eight
G C D G
And I'II be by the fire escape this time
 
[Verse 2]
G D Em
I'Il always love you like a child
C
Loves lies and fiery places
G D Em
A great disguise, an old friend
C
To cover up my many faces
G C D
But I'm about to torch this place
G C D G
And nothing in my heart is safe, right now
 
[Refrain]
G C
Maybe we're supposed to be
G C
Oh, looking at it jealousy
G C G D
'Cause nothing here means anything to me
 
G C
Just give me something I'II believe
G C
Don't tell another lie to me
G C G D
Another drop of irony and I'II break, break
 
G C
When nothing but the earth remains
G C
My demons in a darker place
G C G D
I'm never gonna hide my face again
 
G C
I'm heading up to higher ground
G C
I'm carried by the wind somehow
G C G D
Exactly where I'm meant to be right now, right now
