Intro B 
 
Verse 1:B 
Holdin' on to feelings that I do not like 
B 
About the situation 
B             E                         B 
I can feel my teeth trying to break the ice 
F#            E                         B 
I'm helpless, helpless when it comes to you 
F#          E                   B        E 
I'll say nothing, hope it get's through, through 
 
F#           G#m               E 
I don't know how to play the game

You say that we're not playing 
E                 B 
We're not playing well 
 
F# 
 
F#          G#m                E                     B

I lost my way inside our house 
 
F# B 
 
Verse 2:B 
And I would be a burden with the things that I feel 
B                                          E 
If I spell them out and make as if they're real, 
E                    B 
I'm not sure what is real 
F#           E                        B 
I'm selfish, selfish when it comes to you 
F#        E                        B        E 
I guess I feel left out, I'll pull through, through

I lost my way inside our house

I lost my way inside our house 
B              E 
Way inside our house
