B        E       G
Nothing left to say
B             E       G
And all I've left to do
B        E        G
Is run away from you
           B     E
She led me on, down
 G                B E
Secrets I can't keep

Chorus:
  G                    B E
Close your eyes and sleep
 G                 B E
Don't wait up for me
 G                   B E
Hush now don't you speak
    G
To me

Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, heart, your heart
Soma

Chorus:
I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray my tears
To anyone caught
In our ruse of fools

B                    F#
One last kiss for me, yeah
B                   G
One last kiss good night

                F              Am C G
Didn't want to lose you once again
                F        Am  C G
Didn't want to be your friend
              F             Am C G
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
                 F
Crawled back to you

I'm all by myself
(Close your eyes and sleep)
As I've always felt
(Don't wait up for me)
I'll betray myself
(Hush now, don't you speak)
To anyone, lost, anyone but you

So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me, yeah
Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
When God sleeps in bliss

Chorus:
I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray myself
To anyone
