[Verse 1]
Em
Hiding
                     A
I kinda feel like an island

I should go home but I'm
 Bm
 fighting that right now
G
People freak me out
      Em
And I panic
I should be cool
       A
but I panic

Out of the blue
      Bm
And I end up on the ground,
  G
 weaker all around

[Chorus]
         D
But it's so hard
                   A
When it feels like my fault
                Bm
When I keep 'em so far
               G
Happens when I go dark
I'm so unsteady
     D
It's so hard
                   A
When it feels like my fault
                Bm
When I keep 'em so far
               G
Happens when I go dark

I'm so unsteady

[Verse 2]
Em
Deeper
Words seem to cut
         A
so much deeper

Right to the bone
      Bm
And I let 'em
break me down
G
Someone pull me
out right now
       Em
I'm in danger
The girl in the
            A
mirror's a stranger

At all of thе parties
  Bm
I talk but there's
no sound
G
Violеt shrinking down

[Chorus]
         D
And it's so hard
                   A
When it feels like my fault
                Bm
When I keep 'em so far
               G
Happens when I go dark

     D
It's so hard
                   A
When it feels like my fault
                Bm
When I keep 'em so far
               G
Happens when I go dark

I'm so unsteady

[Bridge]
F#m              A
Lately I've been staring
        D      Bm
at the ceiling
F#m            A
It's a sort of funny,
       D      Bm
quiet feeling
F#m            A
Lately I don't know
           D       Bm
what to believe in
F#m             A
None of this is changing
          D      Bm Em
 with the seasons
