Intro -x2-: G E A D

Verse 1:
            G
There's not much here for me
                            E
When I'm here, I don't feel free
             Am
But when I'm there, I feel alive
                       D
It's what I need to survive


      G
No offense, you're all great
                     E
But it really is too late
             Am
To change my personality
                 D
It's just my reality


      G
And I do not blame you
                       E
For questioning what I do
           Am
It doesn't matter
      E              Am
Well, technically it matters to me
       D
But it shouldn't matter to you

Chorus:
G
I don't need any substance
   E             Am
In order to feel high
             D               G   C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7
I can't stop you from asking why


G
Why I choose to live this way
     E                  Am
It's no one's fault but mine
    E                Am
And trust me I'll be fine
           D           G       C   G   C
As long as I have my alone time
C    G       C   G   C
My alone time

Verse 2:
             G
I'm still in love with myself
                         E
With my purpose, with my health
             Am
And with the goal I have in mind
                            D
Just the thought helps me unwind


        G
I don't doubt you're the same
                         E
Picture with a different frame
             Am
If you won't tell, I will not ask
                         D
What you hide behind the mask


        G
I don't really have a clue
                        E
Despite what I think is true
          Am
I'm so pretentious
      E             Am
While I might be pretentious
          D
I'm still no better than you

Chorus:
G
I don't need any substance
   E             Am
In order to feel high
             D               G   C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7
I can't stop you from asking why


G
Why I choose to live this way
     E                  Am
It's no one's fault but mine
    E                Am
And trust me I'll be fine
           D           G       C   G   C
As long as I have my alone time
C    G       C   G   C
My alone time

Bridge:
B
When I'm all alone
Em       E
When I'm on my own
Am         D             G  C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7
It doesn't matter what I do


B
Because no matter what
Em         E
As long as that door's shut
Am
Not once do I
          D
Wish that I could be like you

Verse 3:
       G
Sadly, I know it's wrong
                   E
And I knew it all along
       Am
I just thought it would be nice
                       D
To not have to pay the price


        G
You are someone I adore
                              E
What do you think I'm on life for
              Am
But you're an individual
                      D
You have your own schedule


       G
We are both mostly free
                           E
There's so many sights to see
         Am          E                Am
It isn't worth it, I mean it might be worth it
       D
If the sights could come to me

Chorus:
G
I won't pretend I'm perfect
E            Am
I'm not even close
             D               G    C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7
I screwed up more often than most


G
But in our darkest moments
  E                Am
Together, we'll be fine
      E               Am
We'll help each other climb
     E                   Am
I'll help you reach your prime
     E                 Am               D             G    C D G D G
I'll make sure you can find me when I'm done with my alone time
