[Verse 1]
F                    Dm
Crash and burn, someday we'll learn,
         Gm                   Bm  Bbm
but for now, we can't get it right
F                    Dm
Nothing hurts, you're in reverse,
         Gm                Bm    Bbm
so just close your eyes tonight
Gm                       Dm
When you can't sleep at night
           F
It's not because you have
                 Bm        Bbm
monsters hiding under your bed
       Gm                     Dm
I'm so sorry I can't make it right
                F
Cause dear the demons you're afraid
           Bm          Bbm
of live inside of your head

[Refrain]
F            Dm           Gm
Please come home, I'm so tired
             Bm   Bbm
of sleeping all alone
        F               Dm
There's nothing left of me anymore,
         Gm
I'm just lying in a heap of
           Bm            Bbm
your old clothes on the floor
       Gm            Dm
I'm a mess, a damn disgrace,
         F              Bm         Bbm
just a ghost with your face on the wall
