================================
NOTES:
1. Use barre chords with a ska/reggae rhythm (except for the power chords during the outro).
2. E should be played as a C-shaped barre chord except during the bridge, where it
should be played as an open chord.
3. If you want to play this song with all open chords (or on a ukulele or
something), try transposing it +3 half steps.
4. These lyrics and chords are only how I interpreted the song, so feel free to
experiment/substitute/comment/etc. if you disagree!
5. Enjoy!
================================
INTRO:
VERSE 1:
Wake up in bed screaming so silently
Punch out the walls of insecurity
Make up instead and say that I'll be fine
I spread these kinds of rumors all the time
My barricade is like a prison fence
The way I'm feeling when I smile: "They really make no sense"
Lights in my room just like a starry night
And that's the way that it goes,
that's just the way that it goes
CHORUS:
When there's nobody around you,
no one to profound you
Just leave me alone,
don't leave me by myself
I see no friends, only strangers
that don't know my danger
VERSE 2:
I drink my coffee from a paper cup
It doesn't keep my hands warm enough
Making some plans so I have something to break
Looking alive so I have something to fake
There's no protection when the demons come
I hear the screaming pound on my eardrums
This house is haunted now that nobody knows
That's just way that it goes
that's just the way that it goes
[CHORUS]
SOLO:
BRIDGE:
Tell me that this is a dream
Give me the weightlessness I need
I'm floating around this room now
Escaping the memory stampede
I think I can see my mother
Living without her's made me weak
I'm fighting a losing battle
I am a game of hide and seek
[CHORUS X 2]
OUTRO:
(That's just the way that it goes, oh...)
