Verse 1:
       C
I grew up pretending sticks were little guns
       C                                  Em
I would point 'em at my dad, and he'd get mad
           F                    C
'Cause God forbid I'd hurt someone
C
I'd hurt anyone I could
C                  Em            F                   C
Anyone who got too close, and anyone who wouldn't look

Verse 2:
       C
I was born into a one hundred-year storm
        C
Foot of ice across Vermont
                              Em                 F
And in that dark, and in that frost, a heart was formed
                 C
Malcontented and unwarm
Em            F             C
You were unprotected, not unwarned

Chorus:
F                    C      Em                 Am
That I'm the trouble ahead, and I scream in my sleep
F                    C                Em              Am
You put your money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losing streak
F                   C                   Em         Am
I keep showing you doors, but you can't opеn them up
F                 C           Em                 Am
It gets harder to see mе the closer you try to look

Post-chorus:
F                            C             Em              Am
I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock
C
You knock

Bridge:
C                                 Am
Have you ever stared directly at the Sun?
C                                          Am             Em                  F
Have you ever shared some closeness so exposed to have it spit back by someone?
                     C
So, forgive me if I jump
        C                                Am                        Em         
At the rattle of your keys, "Oh, are you leaving?", "No, babe, I'm just waking
F
up"
        C
But now what?
C                                        Am                 Em                
I'm left staring at the ceiling, listing reasons you should pack all your xxxx
 F
up

Chorus:
F                    C      Em                 Am
That I'm the trouble ahead, and I scream in my sleep
F                    C                Em              Am
You put your money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losing streak
F                   C                   Em         Am
I keep showing you doors, but you can't opеn them up
F                 C           Em                 Am
It gets harder to see mе the closer you try to look

Post-chorus:
F                            C             Em              Am
I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock
C
You knock
F                            C             Em              Am
I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock
C
You knock

(But you knocked
You knocked)

Chorus:
F                    C      Em                 Am

F                    C                Em              Am

Post-chorus:

F                            C            Em
I just live here, babe, but you're the one
F                            C            Em
I just live here, babe, but you're the one

C          Em          F
You're the one—, you're the one—
C          Em          F
You're the one—, you're the one—
C          Em          F
You're the one—, you're the one—
