[Intro]
C Am Em G C Am Em G
C Am Em D C Am Em
[Verse 1]
I've been aCway, a little while, someAmtimes I just can't help myself
When my Emmind’s running wild, I seem to Glose grip on reality
And I Ctry to disregard the crazy Amthings the voices tell me to Emdo, but it's no Duse
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C I tried to own itAm, write songs about it
Em Believe me I tried, in the Gend I needed to breathe
C Find inspirationAm, some kind of purpose
Em To take a second to faDce the shit that makes me, me
[Chorus]
C All I needed was the Amlast thing I wanted
Em To sit alone in a roDom and say it all out loud
C Every moment, every Amsecond, every trespass
Em Every awful thing, every broken dream
C A couple years back and Amforth with myself in a cEmage
Banging my head against the wDall tryna put words on a pCage
All I needed was the Amlast thing I wanted
Em To be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Verse 2]
I saw the Cworld a couple times, tried to Amcure the ache with absence
But that Emhole was still a hole and my Gmind kept playing tricks on me
Feeling Colder every day, took everyAmthing I had to not crash and buEmrn
But I'm starting to leaD6rn
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C Sometimes I'll fall downAm, sometimes I'll lose hope
Em But those days will be fGew if I keep my feet on the groCund
I might be lonelyAm, but I ain't alone here
Em So I keep pushing the liDmits of what makes me
[Chorus]
C All I needed was the Amlast thing I wanted
Em To sit alone in a roDom and say it all out loud
C Every moment, every Amsecond, every trespass
Em Every awful thing, every broken dream
C A couple years back and Amforth with myself in a cEmage
Banging my head against the wDall tryna put words on a pCage
All I needed was the Amlast thing I wanted
Em To be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Post-Chorus]
(AEmlone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone)
(AEmlone, alone, alone, alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone)
(Em'lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lone)

CI cAman Embe Dbetter than I was
CI cAman Embe better than I Cam
All I needed was the Amlast thing I wanted
Em To sit alone in a N.C.room
[Chorus]
C All I needed was the Amlast thing I wanted
Em To sit alone in a roDom and say it all out loud
C Every moment, every Amsecond, every trespass
