Can   you hear all of my o---pen wounds
    Db     Ab7  Fm7                Bbm7    Ab7    Ab 
I'm whisp-er--ing as loud as the flowers bloom
Db     Ab    Fm7              Bbm7  Ab7    Fm7
I've  been somewhere in the sky, don't worry

          Db7                       C        Db7 
I've been trying not to cry in the gro-cery store
Ab  C7
       Db7                   C          Db7 
Little bully inside pinning me to the  floor
Ab  C7
           Db7             Eb7
It must be easier than it seems
            Cm7                  C7

Co-ver my ears
                     Bbm7      Ab7        Fm7
I think I'm shutting down, go-ing standby, sleep mode, offline

Feel  no--thing

It's quiet as hell in  my  room

Bridge:
Db     Ab    Fm7             Bbm7  Ab7   Fm7
I've  been fighting for my sanc-tuar-y
         Db     Ab7  Fm7             Ab 
How do I stay  a---live if I don't wanna be

Chorus:
          Db7                       C        Db7 
I've been trying not to cry in the gro-cery store

Little bully inside pinning me to the  floor

But I can't get these thorns out of my teeth
     Db7             Cm7  Db7    Ab
It's killing me but I want more
