G
I’m down to my skin and bone
D
And my mommy, she can’t put down the phone
Em
And stop asking how I’m doing all alone, alone
C
But the truth is the stars are falling, ma
G D
And the wolves are out c-calling, ma
Em C
And my home has never felt this far
Pre-Chorus:
G
But all this driving
D
Is driving me crazy
Em
And all this moving
C
Is proving to get the best of me
G
And I’ve been trying to hide it
D
But lately
Em
Every time I think I’m better
C
Pickin’ my head up, getting nowhere
Chorus:
G
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
D
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Em
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
C
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
Verse II:
G
Now I’m down to my skin and bones
D
My baby listens to me on the phone
Em
But I can’t help feeling like I’m all alone, all alone
C
The truth is, the stars are falling, babe
G D
And I’d never ever thought that I would say
Em C
I’m afraid of the life that I’ve made, I’ve made
Pre-Chorus:
G
But all this driving
D
Is driving me crazy
Em
And all this moving
C
Is proving to get the best of me
G
And I’ve been trying to hide it
D
But lately
Em
Every time I think I’m better
C
Pickin’ my head up, getting nowhere
Chorus:
G
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
D
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Em
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
C
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
Bridge:
G
I’ve been lyin’ to them all
D
I don’t need it anymore
Em
Don’t you worry about me
C
I’ll be fine if I can breathe
G
I’ve been hidin’ for too long
D
Taking shit for how I’m wrong
Em
How I’m wrong
C
Always wrong
Chorus:
G
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
D
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Em
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
C
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
G
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
D
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
Em
(Take me back to the basics and the simple life)
C
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
G
(Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease)
D
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
Em
(Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby)
C
Holdin’ on tight and sleepin’ at night
