Verse 1:
             Ebm(hold)
Awwww, Break down!
                                 Bb/D
I've been breaking sweats in the night-time
Ebm(hold)             Bb/D              Ebm(hold)
  I was growing my hair And I could not care
                         B
What they think Cause my eyes were turned up
              G#/C
Like you tore open the ceiling
Ebm(hold)                        Bb/D
  I've been singing songs in the night-time
Ebm(hold)             Bb/D              Ebm(hold)
  I was banging my head And I could not care
                       B
What they think I said don't open the door
     G#/C                    Ebm-Bb/D-C#-G#/C-B(palm mute)
Even if you hear me screaming


Chorus 1:
F#                     G#m          
I built a raft and got carried away
   Ebm                  C#/F                C#
In my new direction And there's where I stay
       F#                              G#m
Cause, you should have known That this boy wasn't grown
           Ebm              C#/F
So you can go away, Go away If you want to leave
C#                  G#/C-B(hold)
If you want to leave


Verse 2:
        Ebm(hold)
Now get down!
                           Bb/D
I was catching glimpses of bright lights
Ebm(hold)                      Bb/D           Ebm(hold)
  And they attracted my steps 'Till I was so scared
                        B
Of what could be Hidden underneath the rocks 
         G#/C
So we're never in position
Ebm(hold)                       Bb/D
  I was singing songs of a lost mind
Ebm(hold)                                Bb/D Ebm(hold)
  But I am still with my friends So I am not scared
                      B
  Of anything I said "don't open the door
     G#/C
Even if you hear me screaming"


Chorus 2:
F#                  G#m
I met a boy who got carried away
   Ebm                  C#/F                  C#  
In my new direction And there's where he stays
      F#                              G#m
Well, you should have known That this boy wasn't grown
           Ebm              C#/F                C#
So you can go away, Go away If you want to leave


Bridge:
        Ebm
And now don't you hide
                    B
'Cause you've got a treasure to find
              F#/B                     G#m         C#           
So shed those leaves that you lie underneath (underneath)
        Ebm
And now don't you stray
                 B
If you feel that you've lost your way
           F#                 G#m      C#     G#/C-B(hold)
Share this feeling that came over me (over me)


Verse 3:
      Ebm(hold)
Break down!
                                 Bb/D
I've been breaking sweats in the night-time
Ebm(hold)             Bb/D              Ebm(hold)
  I was growing my hair And I could not care
What they think I said
B                          G#/C
"Don't open the door, even if you hear me screaming!"


(Repeat Chorus 2)
