Intro F#m  E  

Oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

F#m 
Taking inventory of his life 

Seeing snapshots 

Chronologically inline 
E 
Something told him he should look 

Around and tidy up 

He collected many things 

But never quite enough 
F#m 
Tried looking at it 

From a new perspective 

Flat on his back 

But he still heard the directive 
E 
Orders from that corner 

Where that shadow always lived 

Never asked permissions 

He just hopes that they forgive 

                A 
I don't want to go like this 
   C#m                   E 
At least let me clean my room 
                A 
I don't want to leave like this 
               C#m           B                
'Cause the last thing I want to do is 
A 
Make my people make decisions 
C#m               E   
Wondering what to do, oh 
A 
Should they keep it on display 

Or redecorate? 

F#m 
Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it 

She's not afraid of her reflection 

But of what she might see behind it 
E 
She had plans to change her name, yeah 

Just not the traditional way, yeah 
F#m 
Haunted by a couple big mistakes 

She covers all the dents 

With the way she decorates 
E 
Then one night she got cold 

With no blankets on her bed 

So she ripped them off the mirror 

Stepped back and she said 

                A 
I don't want to go like this 
   C#m                   E 
At least let me clean my room 
                A 
I don't want to leave like this 
               C#m           B                
'Cause the last thing I want to do is 
A

C#m               E   
Wondering what to do, oh

( F#m  E ) 

F#m 
With the bells 

And the whistles scaled back 

Like an isolated track 

And he feels trapped when 

He's not inebriated 
E 
Fair to say he's fairly sedated 

Most days of the week 

He might have made it if he lived 

On a different street 
F#m 
I repeat, scaled back and isolated 

He says he likes an open schedule 

But he mostly hates it 
E 
If you're running to his room 

Take a breath before you break-in 

Put your ear up to the door 

Tell me can you hear him saying? 

                A 
I don't want to go like this
