A Song About Coming Out

C Am7 Em C Am7 Em

[Verse]
C     Cmaj7 Am7
Front door, porch light
Em
Alone again blissfully
C       Am7 Em
Pacing, bed room
Am          Em
Nothing but worn out dreams
C
You told yourself it would be 
tonight
C   Em                Am7
You told yourself you wouldn’t back 
down
Cmaj7
This time

[Verse]
Cmaj7 Am7 Em
Look  up, skyline
Em
Wishing you weren’t as blue
Cmaj7    Am7 Em
Falling, freedom
Em
Trying to say something new
C                       Am7
But all you can come up with
Continues after the ad
Em                    Am7     Em
 Is words that you’ve already said
C
I’m desperate, I’m lonely
Am7                     Em
 I’m dying when I go to bed
C Am7 Em

[Verse]
Cmaj7    Em
Waiting, breathless
Cmaj7            Em
Washing my hands again
Cmaj7    Am7
Standing, taller
Cmaj7
Trying to breathe through the pain
Em      C             Am7
All the words I wrote down
Am7                            Em
 Are clawing their way off the page
C
 I’m shouting, I’m screaming
Am7                  Em  Em7
 I’m trying to break out of this 
cage

[Bridge]
C                 Am        Em
  Nothing’s gonna be the same
Cmaj7            Am        Em
 Nothing’s gonna be the same
C Am7 Em

[Verse]
Cmaj7    Em
Whisper, quiet
Am         Em
I won’t be here next Spring
C   Cmaj7 Am7
 Softer,  footsteps
Em
Pretending I don’t feel a thing
C                  Am
 And the courage I thought I had
Am7                 Em
 Was nothing but an empty heart
C              Am7
 I found a new family that
Am7            Em
 Doesn’t wanna tear me apart

C                 Am        Em
  Nothing’s gonna be the same
Cmaj7            Am        Em
 Nothing’s gonna be the same
C Am7 Em
