INTRO: Am 
 
verse 1 
        Dm 
 I grew up memorizing all the cracks in the wall 
     
 Staring up at the ceiling watching particles fall 
       Am 
 See I prayed every day for a change to be made 
         G 
 And I'd wait to be saved, oh no 
       Dm 
 Up at night, hiding under covers found my escape 
 
 Shut my eyes and let the bass buzz into my brain 
       Am                                            G 
 See I knew I was destined for bigger and better but never said a thing 
 
Pre-Chorus 
    F                      Dm 
 I assumed there was only room for 
     Am                        G                         Am 
 My dreams in my dreams so I'd sleep and repeat 'til the moon went home 
     Dm 
 And I didn't know where it'd take me but made me so crazy in love with it 
 
 
          Am 
 Then the universe aligned 
      Am 
 With what I had in mind 
     F 
 Who knew there was a life 
              Dm   C    Am 
 Behind those four pink walls? 
 
 
verse 2 
            Dm 
 Now I wake up to a different bedroom everyday 
          
 Living up in the clouds thinking of how it all changed 
         Am 
 Used to sit and watch paint dry 
 
 Amazed by the limelight 
   G 
 I can't ever be afraid 
 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
    F                      Dm 
 I assumed there was only room for 
     Am                        G                         Am 
 My dreams in my dreams so I'd sleep and repeat 'til the moon went home 
     Dm 
 And I didn't know where it'd take me but made me so crazy in love with it 
 
 
          Am 
 Then the universe aligned 
      Am 
 With what I had in mind 
     F 
 Who knew there was a life 
              Dm   C    Am 
 Behind those four pink walls? 
         Am 
 Oh, the universe aligned 
      Am 
 With what I wanted all this time 
   F 
 I knew there was a life 
              Dm   C    Am 
 Behind those four pink walls 
 
 
 
BRIDGE 
            Am           
 All of the days that I wasted gazing outside the window 
 Impatient frustrations let out into my pillow 
 Lied awake at night while my head wandered 
 And I wondered why 
 Things weren't different 
 Everything shifted overnight 
 Went from "when boredom strikes" to "Ms. Star on the Rise" 
 It was all in an instant man 
 But those four pink walls, now I kinda miss them man 
 
 
         Am 
 Oh, the universe aligned 
      Am 
 With what I wanted all this time 
   F 
 I knew there was a life 
              Dm   C    Am 
 Behind those four pink walls 
 
OUTRO: Am
