     A#           A#7
The night is when
      A#           F   Fsus4 F
The ghost all come out
  A#
Playin' with my head
A#7            F   Fsus4 F
Spin it all around
      A#
This room is like a prison cell
             Dm
I'm all by myself
     C                   C7
I'm waiting for my friend
                      F Fsus4 F
To come and break me out

You left me today
Lying on the floor
I wanted you to stay, seems you wanted more
This bed is like a prison cell
Cause I'm all by myself
Still waiting for my friend to come
and break me out
And there's stone cold bars on my door
for this stone cold heart

Some people say life is like a lie
Take it day by day, never knowing why
My head is like a prison cell, I'm all by myself
I'm waiting for my friend to come
and break me out
Still waiting for my friend to come
and break me out
