Verse 1
[E5]Sit there thinking
[C5]In your room
[D5]You feel the pressure
[E5]You're going crazy too
[E5]The walls around you
[E5]Closing in
You need a change[G5]
[E5]Claustrophobic
[C5]Feeling scared
[D5]You need somebody
But [E5]no one seems to care
[E5]A one way ticket
[C5]A change of pace
[D5]You've had enough
[E5]Can't take [D5]no [C5][E5][A5]more[G5]

[E5]Got this letter
[C5]Came today
[D5]From my baby
[E5]Who left me yesterday
[E5]Said she loves me
[C5]She'll come back
[D5]She wants to try[G5]
[E5]I won't let her
[C5]She'll be upset
[D5]I know it's better
[E5]Than something I'll regret

[C5]And insincere
[E5]I lost my mind
Twenty [D5]times [C5]a [A5]year[G5]

[E5]I will survive[G5]
[E5]I'm alone
[C5]Now that you're gone

[E5]To hold or tie me down
[E5]I broke the chains
