[Verse]
Am                      G
 I’d go to church every sunday
C                      
 But teenage love still 
         E7
took my virgin skin
Am                      G    
 And the night after my first 
                     C
time I cried, cause I,
                         (E7)
I thought heaven wouldn’t let me in
Am                      
 Meanwhile the priest has
        G
 got a boyfriend
C                          
 And lots of teachers smoke
 E7
 weed after school
Am                            
 When you’re young they try to
 G
 keep you in the cages but
C                          C#dim
 Most of them don’t follow their
 own rules

[Pre-Chorus]
           Dm
Spend your whole life 
being graded
      C/E
Being told you’re not enough
      F
Being told go find “the one”
            G#dim            
And sit and wait for death to
            Am
come but i don’t want to
                  Am/G
I need to talk to god 
There’s things i just don’t
      Am/F#
 understand

[Chorus]
     F      G        
Like who am I when no 
             C
ones in the room?
F      G                
Who am I when no ones in
     C
 the room?
         F
Does the voice in my head that
G                     
Talks me off the ledge 
           Am
belong to me?
                         Am/F#
Or does it come from the clouds?
F      G                 C
Who am I when no ones in the room?

[Verse]
Am                      G
 Go to school and get a good job
C                          
 Just to work your life away 
      E7
and pay your debts
Am                      
 And even those who live 
       G
their dreams out
C                             
Cry, cause all that glitters is
          (E7)
 not what you expect
Am                         G
 Sometimes i don’t want to sing
 no more
        C                 
Slit my throat and take my
                 E7
 music back from evil men
Am                          G
They can put my body in the ocean
            C                  
Where i can die wearing a smile
                C#dim
 and maybe find peace again
