[Intro]
F

[Verse 1]
C
Didn't say why you're leaving
Yeah, we just hit a wall
G
Now I can't shake the feeling
That this is all my fault
Am
Staring up at the ceiling
                         F
Like it'll bring you home
But we both know it won't
C
Losing track of the hours
That I've spent in my bed
G
Now I'm losing the power
To get out of my head
     Am
When it starts spinning downwards
                  F
So I face it alone
Yeah, I wish you'd come home

[Pre-Chorus]
Am             G         F
My heart beats out of my chest
Am          G            F
Waiting for what happens next,
yeah

[Chorus]
C
I don't think it's normal
             F
to be on the floor still
Shaking from the shower
Am
Listening to old calls back
               F
when you would call me
Just to talk for hours, hey
C
Something doesn't feel right
                F
I can't make it feel
right on my own, oh
Am
What would it take to
                   F
make you come home?

[Verse 2]
C
I've been awake for weeks now
I couldn't sleep for days
G
Everything we could be
How could you just walk away?
Am
When I said please don't leave now
                          F
I'm taking all your weight, yeah
Like it would make you stay

[Pre-Chorus]
Am             G         F
My heart beats out of my chest
Am          G            F
Waiting for what happens next,
yeah

[Bridge]
Am
Yeah, my heart is beating
         F
out my body
Because I'm hurting
                 C
and I need somebody
And now I'm calling from
           G
a hotel lobby
And I don't understand
                   Am
why you don't want me
Yeah, my heart is
                     F
beating out of my body
Because I'm hurting and
             C
I need somebody
And now I'm faded in
           G
a hotel lobby
And I don't understand
                   C
why you won't love me

[Chorus]

I don't think it's normal
