Intro: D Verse 1: D I say yes, yes, yes D 'Til I'm sick and I say no D 'Cause my body's breaking down A And I'm ignoring my own soul D Turn the lights out on the porch D So it looks like no one's home G And I'm sitting with my shadow D G A But I'd rather be alone Pre-Chorus: Em7 'Cause left to my own devices D A Em7 I will tear me down Em7 I'll let the snow keep falling D A Em7 Swallow up my sound Em7 What's wrong with finding refuge D A Em A In the white out? Chorus: G D A I'm in the backyard, searching for silence G Ignoring the sirens screaming by D A Moving with caution, I follow my footprints Em Back to the place I said I wanted to die D A am I still here? Em Tapping the glass on the mirror D A I'm not lost, well, I don't know D Let's say I'm taking the long way home Verse 2: D I put my darkest thoughts on ice D Watch 'em drift out on the water G I forget the things that weigh me down A D Can float within another time and space D I'm missing days, you can see it on my face G A I'm so sorry that I'm checking out and pushing you away Pre-Chorus: Em7 'Cause left to my own devices D A Em7 I will tear me down Em7 I'll let the snow keep falling D A Em7 Swallow up my sound Em7 What's wrong with finding refuge D A Em A In the white out? Chorus: G D A I'm in the backyard, searching for silence G Ignoring the sirens screaming by D A Moving with caution, I follow my footprints Em Back to the place I said I wanted to die D A am I still here? Em Tapping the glass on the mirror D A I'm not lost, well, I don't know Em D Let's say I'm taking the long way home A Em D Taking the long way home Outro: A Em D Taking the long way home A Em D A Taking the long way home
