Elephant In The Room

C G Gmaj7


[Verse 1]
  C
I held my tongue on the joy ride

And they all laughed with arms out 
wide
      G
Oh no
      Gmaj7
Oh no


[Verse 2]
  C
I held his hand but felt alone

Don't wanna be here or at home
      G
Oh no
      Gmaj7
Oh no


[Pre-Chorus]
               C         D#
Darlin', don't tell me I'm miles 
deep
G                          Gmaj7
Starin' at a blank screen, chasing 
an ideal dream
        C                         
And he's fighting for things that 
D#
don't exist
        G                        
And I'm trying not to think of 
Gmaj7
all the things that I missed
   C D Bm               C
And I try to figure it out
Continues after the ad
                      D
But they all talk so quick
     Bm                  C
And they all stare so loud


[Chorus]
And the elephant in my room 
          G  Bm C
remembers
       G              Bm  Cmaj7  
How I used to go and lose my 
    G   Bm C
temper
     Am                 Bm
Over little changes in all the faces
      C
You makе when you try to be smart
   Cmaj7    Bm       G
So I will play my part


[Verse 3]
C                     D
I spent too long on what hе said
      C                     D
Let myself fall back in a sofa bed
      G
Oh no
      Gmaj7
Oh no


[Verse 4]
C                        D
I paid my debts with these old 
sights
     C                       D
The mirror's sick of looking at my 
eyes
     G
Oh no


[Pre-Chorus]
                 C           D#
Darlin', don't tell me I'm miles 
deep
G                          Gmaj7
Starin' at a blank screen, chasing 
an ideal dream
         C                       
And he's fighting for things that 
  D#
don't exist
     G                          
And I'm trying not to think of 
Gmaj7
all the things that I missed
   C D     Bm                     C
And I, I'm always trying to be cool
     D       Bm                   C
But I just wanna tell you the truth
      D       Bm
That I, yeah, hope we both pull 
through
C                           D
'Cause I don't think there's much
      Bm                  C
Of a choice that I can do


[Chorus]
        G             Bm  
And the elephant in my room 
  C        G B C
remembers
       G             Bm      C   
How I used to go and lose my 
    G B C
temper
     Am               Bm
Over little changes in all the faces
       C
You make when you try to be smart
           D          G
So I will play my part
