The Rooms Where I Hide

[Intro ]Em D C D 

Em 
In quiet rooms where daylight fades, 
G                      F 
I lay my name in colder shades. 
Em 
The walls don’t ask what I’ve become — 
G                        F 
They let the silence come undone. 
G                             F 
It’s not that I run from the light… 
G                F 
It just burns too bright. 

              G             Am 
These are the rooms where I hide, 
F        G                    Am 
Not from love — but from its tide. 
F             G                 C     
The world is loud, it cuts too deep, 
      Em         F  G     Am 
So I choose the dark to sleep. 
F              G          C  Em 
These are the rooms where I remain, 
F                    G      Em   B Em B 
Where quiet doesn’t call my name.

Em D C D 

Em                       D 
No mirrors here to show my face, 
C                            Em 
No morning knocking at this place. 

I dim the echoes in my chest, 
D                            C 
And let the broken parts just rest. 
G               F 
It’s not escape — it’s self-defense… 
G                  F 
Against too much existence. 

               G             Am 
These are the rooms where I hide, 
F         G                   Am 
Not from you — but from the light. 
F          G              Am  G 
If I step out, I lose my skin… 
F        G                  Am  G F G  Am 
So I stay where I’ve always been.
