Tom: F#

A#m
Woke up crying on a dance floor
C#
Can't remember what for
F#
Guess I lost track in the uproar
A#m
Of people gnawing at my skin
C#                           F#
Attempting to let themselves in
Without a key or permission
    A#m
But I started
                C#
This image of a lighthearted
                    F#
Person who'd do the hard parts
And never feel any scars, its an art to
A#m                   C#
Fold your arms into a cot
                            F#
Hold all the weight they cannot
And still feel like a failure when its all over

[Interlude]
A#m C# F#

[Chorus]
F#     D#m
Let me go
                  A#m
I just want to go home
To a place that I know

F#     D#m
Let me go
                  A#m
I just want to go home
To a place that I know

[Interlude]
A#m C# F#
Woah

Woah
A#m C# F#
Woah
A#m C# F#
Woah

[Verse 2]
A#m
Inviting in disappointment
C#
to stay was never what I meant
F#
When I promised I could do this
A#m
But I simply did the math wrong
C#
This equation doesn't equal
F#
one person that can take it all on
      A#m
Cause giving
          C#
Upon everything I'd
          F#
Ever even dreamed I
Can't make that sacrifice
                  A#m
Spill red wine on me
                   C#
Stain my skin as a means to
             F#
Mark me as a crime scene
And trust that I'm not lying

[Pre-Chorus]
                        A#m C# F#
When I say that I'm sorry
        A#m C# F#
I'm sorry
     A#m C# F#
I'm sorry
          A#m C# F#
I'm sorry

[Chorus]
F#     D#m
Let me go
                  A#m
I just want to go home
To a place that I know

F#     D#m
Let me go
                  A#m
I just want to go home
To a place that I know

A#m C# F#
Woah
A#m C# F#
Woah
A#m C# F#
Woah
A#m C# F#

[Bridge]
F#
Ooh
  D#m
I spread myself too thin again
     A#m                     C#
Made promises I couldn't tend to
F#
Ooh
      D#m
Can't claim a hostage as your friend
        A#m
So I'll let it end
If you'll let this end
    C#                      A#m C# F#
And maybe we can make amends

A#m C# F#

A#m C# F#             A#m C# F#
Maybe we'll make amends

[Chorus]
F#     D#m
Let me go
A#m
I just want to go home

F#     D#m
Let me go
                  A#m
I just want to go home
To a place that I know
