Em7 Bm7
I am afraid of most things I seem to face these days
Em7 G7M/B
Distressing what I used to call a normal and troubled sleep
Em7 Bm7
Waking up soaked in my own sweat
Em7 G7M/B
Greeting the boogeyman as a dear old friend
D7M(9)
And If every song I ever wrote was about you
A7M(9)
But I'm quitting now
F#7/C# Em7/B A7/G
These words will last while I get out
Em7
I get it now
Bm7 Em7 G7M/B
This is me dealing with being lost for so long I can't find a home in all my dearest ones
Em7 Bm7
I'm leaving all the windows open
Em7 G7M/B
So we breathe again the same air as before
G6 D7M/F# Bm7 F#7
Take me back to '09 in my old room in Laranjeiras when I wasn't like this
