At 14 I used to talk to myself 
         Em                  G 
Paint my bedroom with stars 

One for each time my dad flaked out 
      Em              C 
Got a galaxy of scars 
                                           Em 
You know that feeling that you get when ya start to run out of breath 
       G                              D 
And ya pass out, wake up, wig out not knowing where you are 


C                            Em 
I'm safer here inside my submarine 
        C                             Em       D 
Cause when I'm under water you can't say anything 
        Em       D 
I can't hear anything 


G       D 
O-o-o-ohio 
             C 
I don't need Hollywood 
             G                       Em 
I don't need New York heights or Las Vegas lights 
       G       D 
I need O-o-o-ohio 
                C 
I've never even been there 
               G                 D              Em 
But I'd rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio

Last time I saw your face 
                         Em                 G 
You were screaming that I don't have a clue 

I'm not a deadbeat piece of shit 
             D                     C 
Dad, I never learned that from you 

You know that feeling when you're weak 
        Em 
And ya, wish your brain could delete for ya, 
G                                                         D 
All the types of twisted contradictions that I worked so hard to lose 


      C                     Em 
I'm safer here inside my submarine 
       C                                Em           D 
'Cause when I'm under water you can't throw words at me 
         Em              D 
I'm just learning how to leap
