# The Cadd9 chord could probably just be played with a C major instead, but I liked # the more muted sound.

# Intro:
# All done on A string:
# Pluck the A string and hold down the following frets:
# 1, 5, 12, just above 12, 12, 9, 10, 6
# 1, 5, 12, just above 12, 12, 9, 10

Eb
we grew up,
        Gm
so very close...
  Eb               Bb
a parasite needs a host...
Bb                 D
I'm only trying to do what is best for us!
      Gm
well, I never asked for this! I never wanted this!

all that I want is some time to myself!

just get away from me!
please just stop touching me!

you're always trying to be somebody else!

Bb        F            Gm
now I realize I'm not alone...
      Gm
well, you're only scared of me!
    Eb
but you never cared for me!
Gm
why don't you let me breathe?
      Cm
cause you never dare to be!
      Gm
cause you never listen, and you're always insisting on just reminiscing I feel something missing!
Eb                        Ebm                    D
I just want my privacy... why can't you leave me alone?
I just want you here with me... god, can't you just get along?
