Intro: Ebm-Bb/D-C#-G#/C-B(palm mute) (x3)
Verse 1:
Ebm(hold)
Awwww, Break down!
I've been breaking sweats in the [Bb/D]night-time
Ebm(hold) Bb/D Ebm(hold)
I was growing my hair And I could not care
What they think Cause my [B]eyes were turned up
Like you tore [G#/C]open the ceiling
Ebm(hold) Bb/D
I've been singing songs in the night-time
Ebm(hold) Bb/D Ebm(hold)
I was banging my head And I could not care
What they think I said [B]don't open the door
G#/C Ebm-Bb/D-C#-G#/C-B(palm mute)
Even if you hear me screaming
Chorus 1:
[F#]I built a raft and got [G#m]carried away
In [Ebm]my new direction And [C#/F]there's where I stay[C#]
Cause, [F#]you should have known That this [G#m]boy wasn't grown
So you can [Ebm]go away, Go away [C#/F]If you want to leave
C# G#/C-B(hold)
If you want to leave

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