C#m
Didn't say why you're leaving
Yeah, we just hit a wall
B
Now I can't shake the feeling
That this is all my fault
A
Staring up at the ceiling
Like it'll bring you home
But we both know it won't

C#m
Losing track of the hours
That I've spent in my bed
B
Now I'm losing the power
To get out of my head
     A
When it starts spinning downwards
So I face it alone
Yeah, I wish you'd come home

C#m             B          A
My heart beats out of my chest
Waiting for what happens next, yeah

Chorus:
E                                        A
I don't think it's normal to be on the floor still
Shaking from the shower
C#m                                         A
Listening to old calls back when you would call me
Just to talk for hours, hey
E
Something doesn't feel right
                 A
I can't make it feel right on my own, oh
C#m                                     A
What would it take to make you come home?

I've been awake for weeks now
I couldn't sleep for days
Everything we could be
How could you just walk away?
When I said please don't leave now
I'm taking all your weight, yeah
Like it would make you stay

My heart beats out of my chest
Waiting for what happens next, yeah

Chorus

C#m                                 A
Yeah, my heart is beating out my body
                                      E
Because I'm hurting and I need somebody
                                     B
And now I'm calling from a hotel lobby
                                          C#m
And I don't understand why you don't want me
                                       A
Yeah, my heart is beating out of my body
                                      E
Because I'm hurting and I need somebody
                                 B
And now I'm faded in a hotel lobby
                                           E
And I don't understand why you won't love me

Chorus:
I don't think it's normal to be on the floor still
Shaking from the shower
Listening to old calls back when you would call me
Just to talk for hours, yeah
Something doesn't feel right
I can't make it feel right on my own, oh
What would it take to make you come home?
What would it take to make me let go?
