Verse:
E
I'm not a kid anymore
E
Well I wasn't before
Cmaj7                             Am
I grew up on my own behind locked doors
E
My house was empty, no walls
E
The ceilings endlessly tall
Cmaj7                              Am
And yet I felt I had no freedom at all
 

          E
And they'd say
            D
They'd come back for me one day
         Cmaj7                    D
And they told me it was gonna be okay
           E
And they'd lie
            D
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
         Cmaj7                        D
And they told me I had time to stay a child
           E
For a while
 

E
I'd make a breakfast for two
E
Pretend to give it to you
    Cmaj7                   Am
My imaginary friend I never knew
E
a friendly face in the morning
E
Would often serve as a warning
        Cmaj7                           Am
For the party dress my mother would be adorning
 

          E
And they'd say
            D
They'd come back for me one day
         Cmaj7                    D
And they told me it was gonna be okay
           E
And they'd lie
            D
When they'd look me straight in the eyes
         Cmaj7                        D
And they told me I had time to stay a child
 

Cmaj7                E
Sneaking out onto my roof at night
Cmaj7                  E
Hoping someday I might find
    B          A
Something to believe in
    Abm                   Gb
The stars would help with grieving
 

      E
So I'd stay
      D
In my castle locked away
  Cmaj7                            D
a prisoner for the remainder of my days
      E
But at night
         D
When the moon was shining bright
  Cmaj7                                       D
I told myself there was something just out of sight
       E
Out of sight
