 Just in case, I will leave my things packed, so I can run away
   I cannot  trust these voices
  (addE)
  I don't have a line of prospects that can give some kind of peace
  (addE)
  There is nothing left to cling to that can bring me sweet release
  I have no fear  of drowning,  it's the breathing
  (addE)
  That's taking all this work
 
 Do you know what I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
   INTRO Part 2
  What I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
 Empty spaces with shadows hit by streetlights
  Warning signs and weight of tired conversations
  In the absence of a shoulder, in the abscess of a thief
  On the brink of this destruction, on the eve of bittersweet
  Now all the demons look like prophets and I'm living out
  (addE) (addE)
  Every word they speak, every word they speak
 INTERLUDE – , ,
 Do you know what I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
  What I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
  What I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
 (I haven't transcribed this because I don't think it fits in
 well acoustically. There is "Work" tab here that has the solo. You
 can refer to that, figure it out on your or play whatever chord
 progression you please.)
 Do you know what I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
