[D] [G]
I [Em] couldn't fall asleep at all [C] last night, my [G] mind was racing
I left [Em] so much behind to find the [C] dream that I [D] was [G] chasing
And now [Em] I have the need to take [C] a look at what [D] is real
[G] I need [Em] to learn to feel and love [C] and breathe [D] and touch [G] and feel
But what I [C] read is [Em] what I [D] see, and I can hardly [Em] see it differently
I was [C] someone [Em] who's locking up [D]
my heart, [Eb] [Em] inside me
[C] For I'm the [D] only one who [G] holds the key
Nobody [Em] let go as if [C] to show you're [G] peacefully dreaming
[A] So only you [Em] can know that deep [C] inside somebody will [D] scream
[G] And calling [Em] out for anyone who [C] could help you through the [D] night
[G] And hoping that [Em] someone would [C] come along [D] to make it [G] right
But [C] you really [Em] know as much [D] as you see, and [C] everybody [Em] sees it [D] differently
I [C] wish someone could [Em] open up [D] your soul and set [Em] that demon free
[C] But you're the [D] only one who [G] holds the key

I [C] wish someone would [Em] open up [D] my [Eb] heart and look [Em] inside me
[C] But I'm the [D] only one who [G] holds the key
I
[C] [Em] [D] see, and [C] everybody [Em] sees it [D] differently
I wish [C] someone could [Em] open up [D] my [Eb] heart and [Em] look inside me
But [C] I'm the [D] only one,
[C] I'm the [D] only one [C] who holds the [D]
