D                    Em
I get so nervous I'm shaking
G                           D
Gets so I've not no pride at all
D                           Em
Gets so bad but I just keep coming back for more
G                  D
I guess I just get off on that stuff

Chorus:
Am              G           D
Thinkin' 'bout taking some time
Am              G       D
Thinkin' 'bout leaving soon

I got some things I can't tell anyone
I got some things I just can't say
They're the kind of things no one knows about
I just need somebody to talk to me

Chorus:
Am              G         D
Thinkin' 'bout leavin' tomorrow
Am              G        D
Thinkin' 'bout being on my own
Am              G       D
I think I been wasting my time
Am                G           D
I'm thinking about getting out
Am                G           D
I'm thinking about getting out

Em               G
In all this time, the bottom lines
     D                      A
You don't know how much I feel
Em              F#m
You say you see, I don't agree
     G        Em      D
You don't know how I feel

I'm just trying to get myself some gravity
You’re just trying to get me to stay
Sometimes I sit here looking down upon Los Angeles
Sometimes I’m floating away

Chorus:
I'm thinking about breaking myself
I'm thinking about getting back home
I think I been waiting for way too long
I'm thinking about getting out
I'm thinking about getting out
I'm thinking about getting out
