   even when I'm alone
D                      A       
  I've never known any silence,
  F#m                     E
   they turn my head into home
D                   A    
  And they keep me awake,

   with a vacancy sign

It causes all my anxiety

It just ain't fair

It shouldn't be there

          D            A
Maybе I'm overthinking lately
          F#m              E
Maybe thе pressure's gonna break me
             D            A
Feeling like everything's changing

D                    A         
  I've got plenty of roommates,

   even when I'm alone

[Verse 2]
     D                        A
They say that I'm shy, 'cause most 
days I try
   F#m                  E
To hide away and stay inside
D                      A
Drown out the noise by pickin' 
a poison
    F#m                   E
And that makes me lose my mind
         D                      A
Start to think walls are cavin' in
       F#m                   E
I feel weaker than I've ever been
        D        A
It just ain't fair
            F#m   E
I shouldn't be scared
