[Verse 1]
           C                        Am
I've been away, a little while, sometimes I just can't help myself
        Em                             G
When my mind’s running wild, I seem to lose grip on reality
      C                          Am                           Em              D
And I try to disregard the crazy things the voices tell me to do, but it's no use
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C                 Am
 I tried to own it, write songs about it
Em                          G
 Believe me I tried, in the end I needed to breathe
C                Am
 Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
Em                     D
 To take a second to face the shit that makes me, me
 
[Chorus]
C                     Am
 All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em                   D
 To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
C                    Am
 Every moment, every second, every trespass
Em
 Every awful thing, every broken dream
C                        Am                      Em
 A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
                             D                         C
Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page
                     Am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em
 To be alone in a room, alone in a room
 
[Verse 2]
          C                              Am
I saw the world a couple times, tried to cure the ache with absence
         Em                           G
But that hole was still a hole and my mind kept playing tricks on me
        C                          Am                             Em
Feeling older every day, took everything I had to not crash and burn
                       D6
But I'm starting to learn
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C                        Am
 Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope
Em                       G                              C
 But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground
                 Am
I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here
Em                       D
 So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me
 
[Chorus]
C                     Am
 All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em                   D
 To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
C                    Am
 Every moment, every second, every trespass
Em
 Every awful thing, every broken dream
C                        Am                      Em
 A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
                             D                         C
Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page
                     Am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em
 To be alone in a room, alone in a room
 
[Post-Chorus]
  Em
(Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone)
  Em
(Alone, alone, alone, alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone)
 Em
('lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lone)

I can be better than I was
C  Am Em               C
I can be better than I am

All I needed was the last thing I wanted

 To sit alone in a room

Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page
                     Am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
Em
 To be alone in a room, alone in a room
