Standard Tuning
Capo 5
[Verse]
C
I'm down to my skin and bone
Em
And my mommy, she can't put down the phone
G D
And stop asking how I'm doing all alone, alone
C
But the truth is the stars are falling, ma
Em
And the wolves are out c-calling, ma
G D
And my home has never felt this far
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But all this driving
Em
Is driving me crazy
G
And all this moving
D
Is proving to get the best of me
C
And I've been trying to hide it
Em
But lately
G
Every time I think I'm better
D
Pickin' my head up, getting nowhere
[Chorus]
C Em
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
G D
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
C Em
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
G D
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
C Em G D
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
[Verse]
C
Now I'm down to my skin and bones
Em
My baby listens to me on the phone
G D
But I can't help feeling like I'm all alone, all alone
C
The truth is, the stars are falling, babe
Em
And I'd never ever thought that I would say
G D
I'm afraid of the life that I've made, I've made
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But all this driving
Em
Is driving me crazy
G
And all this moving
D
Is proving to get the best of me
C
And I've been trying to hide it
Em
But lately
G
Every time I think I'm better
D
Pickin' my head up, getting nowhere
[Chorus]
C Em
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
G D
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
C Em
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
G D
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
[Bridge]
C Em
I've been lyin' to them all
G
I don't need it anymore
D
Don't you worry about me
C
I'll be fine if I can breathe
Em
I've been hidin' for too long
G
Taking shit for how I'm wrong
D
How I'm wrong, always wrong
[Chorus]
C Em
Take me back to the basics and the simple life
G D
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
C Em
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
G D
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
C Em
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
[Outro]
G D
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
C Em
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night (Take me back to the basics and the simple life)
G D
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night (Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease)
C Em
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night (Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby)
G D
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
