[Verse 1]
I'm[Fmaj7/C] down to my skin and bone
And my mommy, [Em/B]she can't put [C]down the [Am/C]phone
And stop asking [Fmaj7/C]how I'm doing all alone, [G/D]alone
But the [Fmaj7/C]truth is the stars are falling, ma
And the wolve[Em/B]s are [C]out[Am/C] c-calling, ma
And my [Fmaj7/C]home has never felt this fa[Gadd9/D]r
[Pre-Chorus]
But all this [Fmaj7/C]driving
Is driving me [Em/B]crazy[C][Am/C]
And all this [Fmaj7/C]moving
Is proving to [G/D]get the best of me
And I've been [Fmaj7/C]trying to hide it
But [Em/B]latel[C]y[Am/C]
[Fmaj7/C]Every time I think I'm better
N.C.
Pickin' my head up, getting nowhere
[Chorus]
[F/C]Take me back to the basics and the [Am/C]simple life
[Cadd9]Tell me all of the things that make you [G/B]feel at ease
[F/C]Your touch, my comfort, and my [Am/C]lullaby
Holdin' o[Cadd9]n tight and sleepin' at [G/B]night
Holdin' o[F/C]n tight and sleepin' at [Am/C]night
[Instrumental]
[Cadd9] [G/B]
[Verse 2]
Now I'm [Fmaj7/C]down to my skin and bones
My baby [Em/B]listens to me [C]on the [Am/C]phone
But I can't help [Fmaj7/C]feeling like I'm all alone, a[G/D]ll alone
The [Fmaj7/C]truth is the stars are falling, babe
And I [Em/B]never ever [C]thought that [Am/C]I would say
I'm [Fmaj7/C]afraid of the life that I've made, I[Gadd9/D]'ve made
[Pre-Chorus]
But all this [Fmaj7/C]driving
Is driving me [Em/B]crazy[C][Am/C]
And all this [Fmaj7/C]moving
Is proving to [G/D]get the best of me
And I've been [Fmaj7/C]trying to hide it
But [Em/B]latel[C]y[Am/C]
[Fmaj7/C]Every time I think I'm better
N.C.
Pickin' my head up, getting nowhere
[Chorus]
[F/C]Take me back to the basics and the [Am/C]simple life
[Cadd9]Tell me all of the things that make you [G/B]feel at ease
[F/C]Your touch, my comfort, and my [Am/C]lullaby
Holdin' o[Cadd9]n tight and sleepin' at [G/B]night
[Bridge]
[Fsus2]I've been lyin' to them [Am7]all
I don't need it any[Cadd9]more
Don't you worry about [Em7/G]me
I'll be fine if I can [Fsus2]breathe
I've been out here for too [Am7]long
Taking sht for how I'm [Cadd9]wrong
How I'm wrong, always [Em7/G]wrong
[Chorus]
[Dm]Take me back to the basics and the [Am/C]simple life
[C/E]Tell me all of the things that make you [Em]feel[G/D] at ease
[Dm]Your touch, my comfort, and my [Am/C]lullaby
Holdin' on[C/E] tight and sleepin' at [Em]nig[G/D]ht
[Outro]
Holdin' on[F/C] tight and sleepin' at [Am/C]night
Holdin' on[Cadd9] tight and sleepin' at [G/B]night
Holdin' on[F/C] tight and sleepin' at [Am/C]night (Take me back to the basics and the simple life)
Holdin' on[Cadd9] tight and sleepin' at [G/B]night (Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease)
