[Verse 1]

Dm7        G7    Cmaj7
Tears fill up my head
Dm7           G7      Cmaj7
We can’t stay on this bed forever
     Dm7
But I sort of thought
      G7
When I left your room
          Cmaj7
You'd come running out
      C
Say I left too soon
        Dm7
But it's 5 am
           G7
You should get some sleep
       Cmaj7
See you in a year
      C
Maybe two or three



[Verse 2]
       Dm7
Off to college today
         G7
My first school without friends
          Cmaj7
Here’s my chance to start new
          C
Here’s my chance to pretend
        Dm7
That I'm not quite as sad
     G7
As my music lets on
       Cmaj7
And I'm not quite as madly
   C
In love with someone


[Verse 3]
         Dm7
Who lives oceans away
       G7
I could swim if she wanted
        Cmaj7
But she thinks it’d be best
     Cmaj7
If we both just moved on
   Cmaj7
It's not something she’d say
      Cmaj7
If she hadn’t already
     Cmaj7
I need something to break

Someone to keep me steady


[Bridge]
  Dm
I pick myself up off another floor now
G
Set my head upon my neck again
          Cmaj7
Guess I'll give the world another chance to end
                                                   Dm
I'll give the world another chance to show me why it probably should
N.C.
And I saw plenty good

But that was long before you left me here alone
         Cmaj7
That was long before they set me free to roam
Cmaj7
And now I think that maybe if I’d stayed at home
N.C.
I’d still have a brain that’s not depression-prone
                                      G7
It’s weighed me down since you turned it to stone
      Dm
I’ll leave it here on the side of the road
          G
One wants not for that of which one does not know
      C
If I lose my mind I'll lose the thought of you
                                             Cm
And that's the only option you've left me to choose
Dm
So


[Outro]
         Dm7
I’ll stay out of my mind
         Cmaj7
I'll stay out of my mind(x4)
