Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
D 
I'd like to close my eyes
G 
and not think about death
D 
I'll hold my breath when the phone rings
G 
Who is it coming for next?
D 
I'd like to close my eyes
G 
and see if I just fall
Before I know it
D 
I'm drowning from the comfort of
G 
D 
G 
D 
my own bed
G 
D 
And I know we might have
said some things
G 
inside the heat of a moment
D 
That stunned us into a silence
And filled us both with regret
G 
D 
You are free to criticize
G 
just so long as you do it
D 
With some genuine feeling
G 
I appreciate your help
D 
It's your turn to shake this off
G 
D 
Forget what I said
G 
Are you sleeping soundly
D 
or playing dead?

dead?
G 
D 
I'd like to close my eyes
G 
and not think about how
D 
It seemed like you were healing slowly,
G 
until I  said it out loud
D 
You can start off slowly,
G 
D 
just let it all out
G 
D 
You don't have to be silent,
A 
G 
you don't have to be scared
But they've been keeping
Bm 
me to run around
G 
My last demons to contend with
D 
A 
G 
Hiding my corners, placing traps
How long have I been
Bm 
driving up  and down
G 
With a missing door on the
driver's side
Bm 
A 
Pretending everything's alright
G 
D 
Would you take to shake this off
G
