[Verse 1]
[C]I s[Am]tarted this image of a...

[Verse 2]
Woke up crying on a dance [C]floor
Can't remember what for
[F]Guess I lost track in the uproar
[Am]Of people gnawing at my skin
Attempt[C]ing to let themselves [F]in
Without a key or permission

[Verse 3]
But [Am]I started this image
of a [C]lighthearted
Person who'd do the [F]hard parts
And never feel any scars, it's an art to
[Am]Fold your arms into a cot
[C]Hold all the weight they cannot[F] and
Still feel like a failure when its all over

[Verse 4]
Let me [Dm]go
I just want to go home
[Am]To a place that I know[C][Am]

[Verse 5]
[F]Let me go
[Dm]I just want to go home
[Am]To a place that I know

[Interlude 1]

[Am]

[Verse 6]
Inviting in disappoint[C]ment to stay
Was never what I meant
[F]When I promised I could do this
[Am]But I simply did the math wron[C]g
This equation doesn't equal one
[F]Person that can take it all on

[Verse 7]
Cause [Am]giving
Up on [C]everything I'd
Ever even [F]dreamed I
Can't make that sacrifice
Spill red wine on [Am]me stain
My skin as [C]a means to
Mark me as a [F]crime scene
And trust that I'm not lying
When I say that I'm sorry

[Verse 8]
I'm sorry
[F]
Let me go
[Dm]I just want to go home
[Am]To a place that I know

[Verse 9]
[F]Let me go
[Dm]I just want to go ho[G]me
[Am]To a place that I know

[Verse 10]
I [Dm]spread myself too thin again
Made [Am]promises I couldn't
[C]tend [F]to
Can't [Dm]claim a hostage as your friend
So I'll [Am]let it end
If you'll let this end
And [C]maybe we can make [Am]amend[F] s

[Verse 11]
Maybe we'll make amends
[F]
Let me [Dm]go
[Am]I just want to go ho[C]me[Am]
[F]Let me go
[Dm]I just want to go home
[Am]To a place that I kn[C]ow[Am][F]
