C 
Swear I wasn't always like this 
Am7 
I could handle anything 
Dm7 
But, lately, I feel like a stranger 
G 
Living in my own skin 

C 
And, the older that I'm getting 
Am7 
The less I'm letting out 
Dm7 
I can feel my heart screaming 
G 
But I never make a sound 

C                              Dm7 
And I don't know how much of this I can take 

C 
If only I 
Dm7 
Could say what I'm thinking 
Dm7                                          C 
Instead, I'm just sinking in silence again 
C 
And I'm getting tired 
Dm7 
Of smiling and laughing 
Dm7                                         C 
With nobody asking how I really am 
                                C 
Oh, I could use a friend 

C 
It took a lot for me to call ya 
Am7 
But, now I've got you on the phone 
Dm7 
I don't wanna cut the small talk 
G 
Just to say, "I feel alone" 
C 
'Cause I don't wanna be a burden 
Am7 
Make it All about me 
Dm7 
Try to keep it on the surface 
G 
So you don't see underneath 

C                               Dm7 
And I don't know how much of this I can take 

C 
If only I 
Dm7 
Could say what I'm thinking 
Dm7                                         C 
Instead, I'm just sinking in silence again 
C 
And I'm getting tired 
Dm7 
Of smiling and laughing 
Dm7                                         C 
With nobody asking how I really am 

Dm7 
Oh, I could use a friend 
                                 Dm7 
Much more than I'd admit 
Dm7                                                          C 
Don't wanna state the obvious, but I've been losing it 
Dm7 
'Cause, even though I'm scared 
Dm7 
I wanna let you in 
Dm7 
But, every time I try, I swear the air is turning thin 
Dm7 
But I wanna let you in 

C 
If only I 
Dm7 
Could say what I'm thinking 
Dm7                                                C 
Instead, I'm just sinking in silence again 
C 
And I'm getting tired 
Dm7 
Of smiling and laughing 
Dm7                                       C 
With nobody asking how I really am 
Dm7 
Oh, I could use a friend 
Dm7 
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh 
Dm7                     C 
Oh, I could use a friend 
Dm7 
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh 
C 
Oh, I could use a friend
