_ 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

_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ 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, _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ cry _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
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 _ _ _ _
