Intro F#m E Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh F#m Taking inventory of his life Seeing snapshots Chronologically inline E Something told him he should look Around and tidy up He collected many things But never quite enough F#m Tried looking at it From a new perspective Flat on his back But he still heard the directive E Orders from that corner Where that shadow always lived Never asked permissions He just hopes that they forgive A I don't want to go like this C#m E At least let me clean my room A I don't want to leave like this C#m B 'Cause the last thing I want to do is A Make my people make decisions C#m E Wondering what to do, oh A Should they keep it on display Or redecorate? F#m Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it She's not afraid of her reflection But of what she might see behind it E She had plans to change her name, yeah Just not the traditional way, yeah F#m Haunted by a couple big mistakes She covers all the dents With the way she decorates E Then one night she got cold With no blankets on her bed So she ripped them off the mirror Stepped back and she said A I don't want to go like this C#m E At least let me clean my room A I don't want to leave like this C#m B 'Cause the last thing I want to do is A Make my people make decisions C#m E Wondering what to do, oh A Should they keep it on display Or redecorate? ( F#m E ) F#m With the bells And the whistles scaled back Like an isolated track And he feels trapped when He's not inebriated E Fair to say he's fairly sedated Most days of the week He might have made it if he lived On a different street F#m I repeat, scaled back and isolated He says he likes an open schedule But he mostly hates it E If you're running to his room Take a breath before you break-in Put your ear up to the door Tell me can you hear him saying? A I don't want to go like this C#m E At least let me clean my room A I don't want to leave like this C#m B 'Cause the last thing I want to do is A Make my people make decisions C#m E Wondering what to do, oh A Should they keep it on display Or redecorate? A I don't want to go like this (go like this) C#m E At least let me clean my room A I don't want to leave like this (leave like this) C#m B 'Cause the last thing I want to do is (to do is) A Make my people make decisions C#m E Wondering what to do, oh A Should they keep it on display Or redecorate?
