Manchester Orchestra - Leave It Alone

capo 1

C F x2

C F
leave it alone
C F G
we finished this up like an hour ago
C F
so leave me alone
C F G
i planted it once , just assumed it would grow
F G
even though , when i think
C G F C G F
its replicated fear throws me off for years

C F C F G

C F
so take me or don’t
C F G
a three hour drive but we got nowhere close
C F
you read what i wrote
C F G
but you tuned the sound out to make sure i know
F G C G F
even though i can’t see , i feel it’s always haunting me
C G F
kicking out my feet
C G F
ruining everything

C F x2

C F
so take me alone
C F G
cause if it’s not with you , i’ve got no place to go
C F
your brags turn to boasts
C F G
and into fights lasting hours about your dad’s ghost
F G
although you can’t say it yet
C G F
it’s never been the same
C G F
and it looks to stay that way
C G F
it feels like you’re okay

A F C
when i was a fire i turned into ice
G
melting off my last feverish highs
A F
and i leapt through the sunshine and into the night
C G
singing songs of my healthiest fears

C F C F G x2

C F
so take me or don’t
C F G
i’ve built up this kingdom you’d hopefully loathe
C F
if we end up alone
C F G
a plague on my head and a curse in my home
