[Intro]
Em F Am G
 
[Verse 1]
Em F
There's a sadness in the way I've been walking
Am G
There's a comfort in the way that you listen
Em F
And I'm all out of words to keep on talking
Am G
You've got a way of filling space and fixing
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em F
I felt like I was home but I lost it
 
I can't find the cause
Am G
And it's bringing me to my knees
Em F
Nothing feels like home when I'm falling
 
So I keep on calling
Am G
'Cause I'm better with you next to me
 
[Chorus]
Em F
When I get messed up
 
I wanna get out of myself
Am G
Yeah, I need your touch to feel like someone else
Em F
Now I'm all fucked up
 
'Cause I'm too proud for help
Am G
Yeah, I want you the most when I hate myself
 
[Instrumental]
Em F Am G x2
 
[Verse 2]
Em F
And I don't know myself in California
Am G
I can't shake this fear it's gonna ruin me
Em F
'Cause I keep losing sight of the thing I'm after
Am G
When I shatter you tape me up piece by piece
 
[Chorus]
Em F
When I get messed up
 
I wanna get out of myself
Am G
Yeah, I need your touch to feel like someone else
Em F
Now I'm all fucked up
 
'Cause I'm too proud for help
Am G
Yeah, I want you the most when I hate myself
 
[Instrumental]
Em F Am G x4
 
[Bridge]
Em F
You're driftwood in the ocean
 
I'm loose like sand
Am G
You're the catch when I'm falling
C
And I'm falling fast
Em F
Oh, I hate how I need you
 
'Cause you don't need me back
Am G
You've seen my worst
 
And no one knows me like that
 
[Chorus]
Em F
When I get messed up
 
I wanna get out of myself
Am G
Yeah, I need your touch to feel like someone else
Em F
Now I'm all fucked up
 
'Cause I'm too proud for help
Am G
Yeah, I want you the most when I hate myself
