CDm
I am crying on the floor, rocking back and forth
FG
And Rob is crying too, just like the night before
CDm
And Verity is holding me so tightly
FG
Saying "You cannot give up" and she is crying slightly
CDm
And Russ walks over, crying as well
FG
‘Cause he heard me shouting how much I hate myself
CDm
He said “No, not you! No, not you!
FG
You make us all so happy. You know that, don’t you?”
[Chorus]
CDm
I’m so emotional, I felt unlovable
FG
But they love me so dearly I must just be wrong
CDm
‘Cause they keep me, keep me safe
AmG
Keep me safe, keep me safe
CF
K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe
Am
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain
[Verse 2]
CDm
Still feel ripples from stones thrown, didn’t just disturb the surface
FG
Now everyone around me shows me I have a purpose
CDm
Of love and be loved, show others they ain’t worthless
FG
I can love myself, I just need to learn it
CDm
I continue to unpick my tragic disposition
FG
Can I be authentically happy, no need for these incisions?
CDm
No need for a lobotomy when the brain’s just working
FG
I am hurting, I am hurting, could you be my Ibuprofen?
[Pre-Chorus]
CDm
I’m so emotional, I felt unlovable
FG
But they love me so dearly I must just be wrong
CF
And they keep me, keep me safe
AmG
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain
[Chorus]
CF
Keep me, keep me safe
AmG
Keep me safe, keep me safe
CF
K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe
AmG
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain
[Bridge]
DmF
There’s a picture of Ben smiling so sweetly
AmG
Didn’t know I took a photo when he looked up to see me
DmF
There’s a picture of Ben smiling so sweetly
AmG
Didn’t know I took a photo, he just looked up to see me
[Pre-Chorus]
CF
‘Cause they keep me, keep me safe
AmG
Keep me safe, k-keep me safe
CF
K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe
AmG
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain
[Chorus]
CF
So I’ll bring the ink and I’ll stand in the sink (Keep me, keep me safe)
AmG
And you can tattoo my eyeballs bright pink (Keep me safe, keep me safe)
CF
And I’ll bring the ink and I’ll stand in the sink (K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe)
AmG
And you can tattoo my eyeballs bright pink (Keep me safe, keep me safe)
CF
And k-keep me, keep me safe
AmG
Keep me safe, keep me safe
CF
K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe
AmG
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain
[Outro]
CF
Keep me, keep me safe
AmG
Keep me safe, keep me safe
CF
K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe
