[Verse 1]
C
  Opened two double doors
                                  Am
Typical, pretty sure I could grow up
Probably chemical
                                 F
I took up walking to turn it all off
Doesn't feel bearable
Guess I thought when I left
             C
it would all stop
Hmmm, it would all stop

[Chorus 1]
      Am          F
Did I fall out of line when
  C
I called you?
       Am            F
When I told you "I'm fine"
         C
you were lied to
          Am           F
How could I think that all that
  C             G/B
I gave you was enough?
                    N.C.
'Cause every time I get too close
I just go mess it up

Am                           F
I keep thinking maybe if you let

Pull myself together,
          F
you could watch it happen

breaking every habit

you could watch it happen
C
Let it happen, let it happen
