I Think This Is Fairly Accurate. You Can Replace
The Cadd9 With C If You Prefer.

[Verse]

The city sleep

s and I'm awak

e
I'm stuck in conversation

My mind is run

ning red light

s
To escape this situation

I hold my brea

th and bite my

 tongue

Pretend and pl

ay along

I rewind, rese

t, restart, re

peat

Again when mor

ning comes
              
I've been coun

     
ting down from

 ten
              
Hoping it woul

   
d make it end
  
I shut my eyes
I shut my mind
    
And hope it pa

ss me by


[Chorus]
         
I'm a broken s

    
oul
              
Think I've los

        
t control
              
'Cause you're 

              
making me your

 
 hostage
            
And if truth b

       
e told
              
I'm afraid of 

        
getting old
              
'Cause you're 

              
making me your

 
 hostage



[Verse]

The city sleep

s, I'm wide aw

ake
And breaking expectations

My blood is co

ld, my eyes ar

e red
My knees can't stop from shaking

I hold my brea

th and bite my

 tongue

Pretend and pl

ay along
            
I rewind, rese

              
t, restart, re

      
peat again
When morning comes
              
I've been coun

     
ting down from

 ten
              
Hoping it woul

   
d make it end
  
I shut my eyes
I shut my mind
    
And hope it pa

ss me by


[Chorus]
         
I'm a broken s

    
oul
              
Think I've los

'Cause you're 

              
making me your

 
 hostage
            
And if truth b

I'm afraid of

'Cause you're

       Hostage
   
       Hostage
