Forgotten Castaway

Chapter 13


Tom: Bm

D

[Verse 1]
 D
She works a 9-5 at a shitty job
 G
Just to waste it all on alcohol
Bm             G
That says it all
D
Her parents think that she can focus more
G
On coming better than she was before
Bm  A              G
But it feels like war

[Pre-Chorus]
G                         A
She just can't waste another day
      D
On trying to fit in with everybody else's ways
G                      A
She doesn't know or realise
         D
That everybody else just feels the same as her inside


[Chorus]
           G               D
It's the long nights, the long days
                 A        Bm
When you're a forgotten castaway
                G           D
It's always a freak-out, doomsday
                 A          Bm
When you're a forgotten castaway
   G                D
Sleeping with the enemy
  F#                     Bm
Shots fired, you're a casualty
  G                    A
Normal's not normal anyway
                     D
It's okay not being okay


[Verse 2]
D
She didn't go the school, life felt too tough
G                                    Bm
Getting through the day was hard enough
             G
'Cause she would, if she could, but she can't, so she shan't
D
And life is the hardest
       G
When their knives are the sharpest
 Bm      A                      G
Nobody knows there's anything wrong


[Pre-Chorus]
 G                      A
She can't just waste another night
D
On putting out the fires that she feels but always hides


[Chorus]

           G               D
It's the long nights, the long days
                 A        Bm
When you're a forgotten castaway
                G           D
It's always a freak-out, doomsday
                 A          Bm
When you're a forgotten castaway
   G                D
Sleeping with the enemy
  F#                     Bm
Shots fired, you're a casualty
  G                    A
Normal's not normal anyway
                     D
It's okay not being okay



[Bridge]
Bm                        F#
If you're okay with not being okay
 G                            D           F#
If you wanna be someone or something one day
      G
The world goes to sleep and the night comes alive
      A
The truth hides away in fluorescent lies
    Bm          A   G
But we don't care now


[Chorus]
  D
It's the long nights, the long days

When you're a forgotten castaway
                   G
It's always the fucked up people that got something to say

To the forgotten
   G
Sleeping with the enemy
  F#                     Bm
Shots fired, you're a casualty
  G                   A
Normal's not normal anyway


[Outro]
           G               D
It's the long nights, the long days
                 A         Bm
When you're a forgotten castaway
                 G          D
It's always a freakout, Doomsday
                 A         Bm
When you're a forgotten castaway
   G                D
Sleeping with the enemy
        F#               Bm
Shots fired you're a casualty (Fired, you're a casualty)
  G                    A
Normal's not normal anyway
                      D
It's okay not being okay
