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
