Am Em Bm
Stuck all alone in this social scene
Am Em Bm
So many people around
Am Em Bm
My heart begins to beat, my chest will rise and fall
Am Em Bm (let ring)
It is bound to bring me down
[Chorus]
Am
And it’s always the crowded rooms
Em Bm
A sea of faces, a sea of anything but solitude
Am
Still, the crowded rooms
Em Bm
Wishing someone could pull me off this tortured loom
[Refrain]
Am
Perpetual gloom
Em Bm*
Forever trapped in this… crowded room
[Bridge]
C Bm
I'll run, I'll hide, I'll look for an escape
Am
But there's no way I can make it while I'm in this space
C Bm
What can I do when there's nothing to suggest
Am
And it feels like solace is all I have left
[Inbetween 2]
C Bm Am Em
C Bm*
[Solo]

And it’s always the crowded rooms

While I exist in the horde I'm consumed in subterfuge
