[Intro]
F     Am  Em  F     Am  Em


[Verse 1]
F
  Scared of the feeling
                   Am                  Em
I've checked every door in this broken house
                      F
Left the light on the porch

From the floor to the ceiling
                    Am                      Em
You've made this my hell locked inside of myself


[Pre-Chorus]
             F
The medicine ain't helpin' lately
Am
Five shots save me
C                            F                      Am                C  Em
Thinking maybe I could use a one-way high that stays through the night


[Chorus]
                       Am               C
You can find me on the far side of the moon
                   Em                       F
Where the darkness creeps, I'm nothing like you
             Am                    C                    Em  F
I try to mix twelve steps and my regret but I can't move
                    Am                      C
They say I'm on the fast track, read the room
              Em                   F
I'm scared to death you'll find me used
                Am                   C
If only I could get lost, leave it unlocked
                 Em  F
Turn the light off
                 Am
Turn the light off


[Interlude]
(Am) C  Em  F


[Verse 2]
F                                          Am
  You told me to let go but I side at the unknown
              Em                       F
I let it all in, while you let it all out

And I've got my reasons
                  Am
Don't need you to meet them
                 Em
Not then and not now


[Pre-Chorus]
         F
Medicine ain't helpin' lately
Am
Five shots save me
C                            F                      Am                C  Em
Thinking maybe I could use a one-way high that stays through the night


[Chorus]
                       Am               C
You can find me on the far side of the moon
                   Em                       F
Where the darkness creeps, I'm nothing like you
             Am                    C                    Em  F
I try to mix twelve steps and my regret but I can't move
                    Am                      C
They say I'm on the fast track, read the room
              Em                   F
I'm scared to death you'll find me used
                Am                   C
If only I could get lost, leave it unlocked
                 Em  F
Turn the light off
                 Am
Turn the light off


[Interlude]
(Am) C  Em  F
 Am  C  Em  F


[Outro]
                       Am               C
You can find me on the far side of the moon
                   Em                       F
Where the darkness creeps, I'm nothing like you
                Am                   C
If only I could get lost, leave it unlocked
                Em  F
Turn the light off
