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                         D#
And he's fighting for things that don't exist
        G                        Gmaj7
And I'm trying not to think of all the things that I missed
   C D Bm               C
And I try to figure it out
                      D
But they all talk so quick
     Bm                  C
And they all stare so loud


[Chorus]

                                      G  Bm C
And the elephant in my room remembers
       G              Bm  Cmaj7      G   Bm C
How I used to go and lose my 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                         D#
And he's fighting for things that don't exist
     G                          Gmaj7
And I'm trying not to think of 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    C        G B C
And the elephant in my room remembers
       G             Bm      C       G B C
How I used to go and lose my 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
