Intro: ---G#/C-B(palm mute) (x3)
Verse 1:
(hold)
I've been breaking sweats in the night-time
(hold) (hold)
I was growing my hair And I could not care
What they think Cause my eyes were turned up
/
Like you tore open the ceiling
(hold)
I've been singing songs in the night-time
(hold) (hold)
I was banging my head And I could not care
What they think I said don't open the door
/ ---G#/C-B(palm mute)
Even if you hear me screaming
Chorus 1:
I built a raft and got carried away
/
In my new direction And there's where I stay
Cause, you should have known That this boy wasn't grown
/
So you can go away, Go away If you want to leave
/C-B(hold)
If you want to leave
Verse 2:
(hold)
Now get down!
I was catching glimpses of bright lights
(hold) (hold)
And they attracted my steps 'Till I was so scared
Of what could be Hidden underneath the rocks
/
So we're never in position
(hold)
I was singing songs of a lost mind
(hold) (hold)
But I am still with my friends So I am not scared
Of anything I said "don't open the door
/
Even if you hear me screaming"
Chorus 2:
I met a boy who got carried away
/
In my new direction And there's where he stays
Well, you should have known That this boy wasn't grown
/
So you can go away, Go away If you want to leave
Bridge:
And now don't you hide
'Cause you've got a treasure to find
/
So shed those leaves that you lie underneath (underneath)
And now don't you stray
If you feel that you've lost your way
/C-B(hold)
Share this feeling that came over me (over me)
Verse 3:
(hold)
Break down!
I've been breaking sweats in the night-time
(hold) (hold)
I was growing my hair And I could not care
What they think I said
/
"Don't open the door, even if you hear me screaming!"
(Repeat Chorus 2)
Outro: Do Chorus Chords
you should have known That this boy wasn't grown
/
So you can go away, Go away If you want to leave
