              Intro C  Am  Em  G 
        C  Am  Em  G 
        C  Am  Em  G 
        C  Am  Em  G 
 
           C                        Am 
I've been away, a little while, sometimes I just can't help myself 
        Em                             G 
When my mind's running wild, I seem to lose grip on reality 
      C                          Am                           Em              D 
And I try to disregard the crazy things the voices tell me to do, but it's no use 
 
Pré-Refrão 
 
C                 Am 
 I tried to own it, write songs about it 
Em                          G 
 Believe me I tried, in the end I needed to breathe 
C                Am 
 Find inspiration, some kind of purpose 
Em                     D 
 To take a second to face the shit that makes me, me 
 
 
C                     Am 
 All I needed was the last thing I wanted 
Em                   D 
 To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud 
C                    Am 
 Every moment, every second, every trespass 
Em 
 Every awful thing, every broken dream 
C                        Am                      Em 
 A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage 
                             D                         C 
Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page 
                     Am 
All I needed was the last thing I wanted 
Em 
 To be alone in a room, alone in a room 
 
          C                              Am 
I saw the world a couple times, tried to cure the ache with absence 
         Em                           G 
But that hole was still a hole and my mind kept playing tricks on me 
        C                          Am                             Em 
Feeling older every day, took everything I had to not crash and burn 
                       D6 
But I'm starting to learn 
 
Pré-Refrão 
 
C                        Am 
 Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope 
Em                       G                              C 
 But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground 
                 Am 
I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here 
Em                       D 
 So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me 
 
 
C                     Am 
 All I needed was the last thing I wanted 
Em                   D 
 To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud 
C                    Am 
 Every moment, every second, every trespass 
Em 
 Every awful thing, every broken dream 
C                        Am                      Em 
 A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage 
                             D                         C 
Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page 
                     Am 
All I needed was the last thing I wanted 
Em 
 To be alone in a room, alone in a room 
 
  Em 
(Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone) 
  Em 
(Alone, alone, alone, alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone) 
 Em 
(Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lone) 
 
( C  Am  Em  D ) 
( C  Am  Em )

All I needed was the last thing I wanted 
Em 
 To be alone in a room, alone in a room
