          Dm           C
Ain't no peace at the top
   F
I don't know how much air I got
        Dm       A#       Am
I won't ever get used to this
          Dm             C
'Cause it ain't what it seems
     F
And don't nobody check on me
        Gm         Am       Dm
It's a slow way to go, all alone

Chorus:
Dm                        C
How you get lonely even though
            F
You're surrounded by the ones you know?
           Dm  A#             Am
Killing myself, saying these words
           Dm                      C
There's a hurting deep down in my soul
       F
But I learn not to let it show
           A# Am
Do I need help?
Dm
No

           Dm         C
There's a price I'ma pay
      F
For hiding feelings I don't say
         Dm        A#      Am
Keep my cool or I lose my way
        A#          C
Try to talk to the wind
     F
But ooh, I just can't pretend
      A#         Am        Dm
I'm a man, man without a friend

Chorus:
Dm                         C
How you get lonely even though
           F
You're surrounded by the ones you know?
         Dm      A#           Am
Killing myself, saying these words
            Dm                    C
There's a hurting right now in my soul
       F
But I learn never let it show
           A# Am
Do I need help?
Dm
No, no, no
Dm                         C
How you get lonely even though
          F
You're surrounded by the ones you know?
          Dm    A#            Am
Killing myself, saying these words
            Dm                     C
There's a hurting deep down in my soul
        F
But I learn never let it show
           A# Am
Do I need help?
Dm
No, no, no, no, no
