Intro: A  C#m  D  A  C#m  D E 
 
verse 1: 
A                C#m 
  I don't feel alright 
 
In spite of these 
D 
comforting sounds you make 
A                C#m 
  I don't feel alright 
 
Because you make 
D 
promises that you break 
 
 
A           C#m 
  Into your house 
          F#m 
Why don't we share 
    D        D 
Our solitude? 
A 
  Nothing is 
C#m     F#m 
pure Anymore 
    D       D 
But solitude 
 
verse 2: 
 
A                   C#m 
  It's hard to make sense 
                D 
Feels as if I'm sensing 
 
you through a lens 
A                 C#m 
  If someone else comes 
 
I'll just sit here 
D 
listening to the drums 
 
 
A         C#m 
  Previously 
        F#m 
I never called 
   D 
It solitude 
 
Bridge: 
 
    A 
And probably you know 
 
All the dirty shows I've 
 
put on Blunted and exhausted 
     E 
like anyone Honestly I 
          D 
tried to avoid it Honestly 
A 
  Back when we were kids 
 
We would always 
 
know when to stop 
 
And now all the good 
         E 
kids are messing up 
 
Nobody has gained 
     D 
or accomplished
