C#m Didn't say why you're leaving Yeah, we just hit a wall B Now I can't shake the feeling That this is all my fault A Staring up at the ceiling Like it'll bring you home But we both know it won't C#m Losing track of the hours That I've spent in my bed B Now I'm losing the power To get out of my head A When it starts spinning downwards So I face it alone Yeah, I wish you'd come home C#m B A My heart beats out of my chest Waiting for what happens next, yeah Chorus: E A I don't think it's normal to be on the floor still Shaking from the shower C#m A Listening to old calls back when you would call me Just to talk for hours, hey E Something doesn't feel right A I can't make it feel right on my own, oh C#m A What would it take to make you come home? I've been awake for weeks now I couldn't sleep for days Everything we could be How could you just walk away? When I said please don't leave now I'm taking all your weight, yeah Like it would make you stay My heart beats out of my chest Waiting for what happens next, yeah Chorus C#m A Yeah, my heart is beating out my body E Because I'm hurting and I need somebody B And now I'm calling from a hotel lobby C#m And I don't understand why you don't want me A Yeah, my heart is beating out of my body E Because I'm hurting and I need somebody B And now I'm faded in a hotel lobby E And I don't understand why you won't love me Chorus: I don't think it's normal to be on the floor still Shaking from the shower Listening to old calls back when you would call me Just to talk for hours, yeah Something doesn't feel right I can't make it feel right on my own, oh What would it take to make you come home? What would it take to make me let go?
