[Verse 1] Bm Taking inventory of his life Bm Seeing snapshots chronologically inline F#m Something told him he should look around and tidy up F#m He collected many things but never quite enough Bm Tried looking at it from a new perspective Bm Flat on his back but he still heard the directive F#m Orders from that corner where that shadow always lived F#m Never asked permission, he just hopes that they forgive [Chorus] D I don't want to go like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Bm At least let me clean my room F#m I don't want to leave like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh) E 'Cause the last thing I want to do is D Make my people make decisions, Bm wondering what to do, oh A Should they keep it on display N.C. Or redecorate?

[Verse 2] Bm Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it Bm She's not afraid of her reflection But of what she might see behind it F#m She had plans to change her name, yeah F#m Just not the traditional way, yeah Bm Haunted by a couple big mistakes Bm She covers all the dents with the way she decorates F#m Then one night she got cold with no blankets on her bed F#m So she ripped them off the mirror, stepped back and she said [Chorus] D I don't want to go like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Bm At least let me clean my room F#m I don't want to leave like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh) E 'Cause the last thing I want to do is D Make my people make decisions, Bm wondering what to do, oh A Should they keep it on display N.C.

[Instrumental] F#m Bm F#m Bm [Bridge] F#m With the bells and the whistles scaled back Bm Like an isolated track And he feels trapped when he's not inebriated F#m Fair to say he's fairly sedated most days of the week Bm He might have made it if he lived on a different street F#m I repeat, scaled back and isolated Bm He says he likes an open schedule, but he mostly hates it F#m If you're running to his room, Bm take a breath before you break-in Put your ear up to the door, F#m Bm tell me can you hear him saying?
