         Em        C/B     G         D/F# 
 What I want from you is empty your head. 
         Em        C/B  G          D/F# 
 But they say be true, don't stain your bed. 
     Em  C         G          D/F# 
 And we do what we need to be free. 
         Am                C           D 
 And it leans on me like a rootless tree. 
  
         Em        C/B     G         D/F# 
 What I want from us is learn to let go. 
        Em        C/B     G         D/F# 
 But we fake, we fuss, and fracture the times. 
 Em     C            G         D/F# 
 We go blind when we needed to see. 
            Am                C   D 
 And this leans on me, like a rootless... 
  
  Em        C/B        G 
 FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU 
      D/F# 
 and all we've been through. 
        Em        C/B       G 
 I said leave it, leave it, leave it, 
      D/F# 
 it's nothing to you. 
            Em       C/B      G        D/F# 
 And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good 
               Em 
 that you just let me out  
 C/B         G 
 let me out, let me out? 
     D/F# 
 Its hell when you're around. 
 Em          C/B         G 
 Let me out, let me out, let me out. 
 D/F# 
 Hell when you're around. 
 Em          C/B         G         D/F# 
 Let me out, let me out, let me out. 
  
        Em         C/B 
 What I want from this 
       G            D/F# 
 is to learn to let go. 
     Em      C/B 
 No, not of you 
    G               D/F# 
 of all that's been told. 
 Em  C        G           D/F# 
 Killers re-invent and believe 
           Am                 C   D 
 and this leans on me, like a rootless... 
  
  Em       C/B       G 
 FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU 
     D/F# 
 and all we've been through. 
        Em        C/B       G 
 I said leave it, leave it, leave it, 
     D/F# 
 it's nothing to you. 
            Em       C        G        D/F# 
 And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good 
               Em 
 that you just let me out  
 C/B         G 
 let me out, let me out? 
     D/F# 
 Its hell when you're around. 
 Em          C/B         G 
 Let me out, let me out, let me out. 
     D/F# 
 Its hell when you're around. 
  
  Em         C/B         G 
 Let me out, let me out, let me out 
 D/F# 
 hell when you're around. 
  Em         C/B         G 
 Let me out, let me out, let me out 
 D/F# 
 hell when you're around. 
  
  Em         C/B         G           D/F# 
 Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out. 
 Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out. 
 LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT. 
 LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT!!! 
  
 etc.
