Have you [F] ever
[C] been so [G] lonely?
[F] There's no [C] one there to [G] hold,
[F] just pull [C] me in or [G] disown me
And then, [Em]
climb [Am] inside,
[Em] my arms are open [Am] wide
Have [Em]
a look [G] inside, it [F] is not
[C] that I am [G] scared to learn
[F] Just why [C] I'm empty [G] inside,
[F] just hold [C] my hand to [G] show some concern
If [Em] I live [Am] or die, [Em] my eyes are open [Am] wide
[Em] Help me look [G] inside, I'm singing

the [F] water [C] drip from the [G] faucet
[F] It's [C] sweetly falling [G] into, who knows?
[F] I'm [C] gently closing the [G] closet and I fall to [Em] the floor
And crawl to [Am] my room
[Em] The thought of ending it [Am] soon
Just [Em] let me sleep in [G] my room
I hear me [F] cry,
[C] [G]
[F] cry,

And [F] how I hear [C] a knock at [G] the front door
Don't come in
I [F] try [C] to look at you [G] but I can't stop shaking
[F] Leave me [C] alone, just [G] get away
Mother, I'm [Em] so
[Am] scared
[Em]
I'm so [A] scared
[Am]
An [Em]
[G]
[F] empty bed [C]
but all of my [G] sheets are gone
[F] They're wrapped [C] around me and [G] dear
And [F] all [C] is quiet but [G] the drop of my gum
Cause [Em] I, I want to [Am] belong to [Em]
[A] someone
[Am]
[Em] But maybe life's not [G] for everyone
