verse 1 

      C                       G 
I'm getting pretty good at leaving 
      Em                   D 
My patience isn't running thin 
 C                   G 
Autumn never ends in my head 
    Em                  D 
No matter how far I've been 
    C            G               Em 
It feels like everybody is the branch 
              D      C               G 
And I'm the leaves falling from the top 
            Em 
Of every leafless tree 


     C  G           Em                D 
The home inside my head has a bed for me 
      C  G            Em                 D 
That no one will ever get the chance to see 
    C            G 
A kitchen table with one chair 
 Em                D 
Walls with empty picture frames 
 C   G            Em 
No one will ever see 
D 
No one will ever see  


C  G  D 

verse 2 

 C                G               Em               D 
All I see is the past two years before I hit the ground 
 C        G                  Em         D 
Time is moving slower on the way down 
 C      
Save yourself 
               G              Em               D 
Don't stand wondering what's going through my mind 
 C          G                  Em       D 
Let me go before you see me following behind 

Pre-Chorus 
   
C                      D 
  I'll save you from myself 
             C 
Just let me go 
                     D 
I'll save you from myself 


     C   G          Em                D 
The home inside my head has a bed for me 
     C   G            Em                 D 
That no one will ever get the chance to see 
C                G 
A kitchen table with one chair 
 Em                D 
Walls with empty picture frames 
 C   G           Em 
No one will ever see 
D 
No one will ever see 

Bridge 

       G                C           Em     D 
I've learned that it's okay to be selfish  
    G              C                   Em 
It keeps me from falling apart at the seams 
 D                C       G 
Stuck is where I feel in place 
           Em      D 
A feeling I'll embrace 


     C   G          Em                D 
The home inside my head has a bed for me 
     C   G            Em                 D 
That no one will ever get the chance to see 
C                G 
A kitchen table with one chair 
 Em                D 
Walls with empty picture frames 
 C   G           Em 
No one will ever see 
D 
No one will ever see
