[Verse 1]
C
The world outside my room's not a world I can face
G
'cus I'm out of my head and I have been for days
F C
And I can't sleep
C
I open my eyes it's the evening and then
G
I repeat the same cycle again and again
F C
The past is mine to keep
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
I try to make myself think that the good days are worth all the bad
F C
But walking in circles is the future I know I will have
F C
The days as they're passing are just another burden to me
G
Just let me be
[Chorus]
C
Because I just sit and watch the clock,
F
I'll say I'm alright when I'm not
C
and when the sky turns grey I'll hide away alone with my thoughts
G F
I'll dream of better days, or run somewhere far away
C
It seems my time is up, for now I'll just sleep through another day
[Interlude]
C
[Verse 2]
C
And I'm sorry I'm not what you want me to be
G
I'm trapped in my mind and it won't let me free
F C
The night it comforts me
C
I can hear it, the call of that red bathroom floor,
G
Both eyes on the exit, one hand on the door
F C
If I go then I'll be free
[Pre-Chrous]
F C
The match burns at my fingers, it's time that I just let it go.
F C
I'll fade softly in darkness, I'll give up and no one will know.
F C
The floor's spinning in circles, I can't seem to move from the bed,
G
Or out of my head
[Chorus]
C
Because I just sit and watch the clock,
F
I'll say I'm alright when I'm not
C
and when the sky turns grey I'll hide away alone with my thoughts
G F
I'll dream of better days, or run somewhere far away
Am
It seems my time is up, for now I'll just sleep through another day

And I've crossed the line again

Can't bear to think that this is how it ends

So close your eyes and just pretend it's all okay.
[Chorus]

Because I just sit and watch the clock,
F
I'll say I'm alright when I'm not
C
and when the sky turns grey I'll hide away alone with my thoughts

I'll dream of better days, or run somewhere far away
C
It seems my time is up, for now I'll just sleep through another day
[Outro]

Let me go, let me go

Let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me go
