[Verse 1]
          F#m7
I've been away, a little while
    Bm
Sometimes I just can't help myself
        D
When my mind's running wild
          E
I seem to lose grip on reality
      F#m7
And I try to disregard
          Bm                             D
The crazy things the voices tell me to do
             E
But it's no use
F#m7               Bm
  I tried to own it, write songs about it
D                             E
  Believe me, I tried, in the end, I needed to breathe
F#m7              Bm
  Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
D                        E                 F#m7 Bm D
  To take a second to face what makes me, me
 
 
[Chorus]
D                      Bm
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted
F#m7                   E                       D
  To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
                    Bm
Every moment, every second, every trespass
F#m7               E                   D
  Every awful thing, every broken dream
                           Bm
A couple of years back and forth with myself in a cage
F#m7                              E
  Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna' put words on a page
D                      Bm
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted
F#m7                   E
  To sit alone in a room, alone in a room
 
 
[Verse 2]
          F#m7
I see the world a couple of times
         Bm
Tried to cure the ache with absence
         D
But that hole was still a hole
       E
And my mind kept playing tricks on me
        F#m7
Feeling older every day
          Bm                               D
Took everything I had to not crash and burn
                       E
But I'm starting to learn
F#m7                      Bm
  Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope
D                           E
  But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground
F#m7               Bm
  I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here
D                             E                   F#m7 Bm D
  So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me, me
 
 
[Chorus]
D                      Bm
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted
F#m7                   E                       D
  To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
                    Bm
Every moment, every second, every trespass
F#m7               E                   D
  Every awful thing, every broken dream
                           Bm
A couple of years back and forth with myself in a cage
F#m7                              E
  Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna' put words on a page
D                      Bm
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted
F#m7                   E               D Bm F#m7 E
  To sit alone in a room, alone in a room
             D Bm F#m7 E
Alone in a room
 
 
[Bridge]
       D Bm  F#m7
'Cause I can be
E
Better than I was
D Bm  F#m7
I can be
E
Better than I am
 
 
[Outro]
D                      Bm
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted
F#m7                   E                       D
  To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
                    Bm
Every moment, every second, every trespass
F#m7               E                   D
  Every awful thing, every broken dream
                           Bm
A couple of years back and forth with myself in a cage
F#m7                              E
  Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna' put words on a page
D                      Bm
  All I needed was the last thing I wanted
F#m7                   E               D Bm F#m7 E
  To sit alone in a room, alone in a room
             D Bm F#m7
Alone in a room
