[Verse 1]
Eb             Bb            Fm
Always thought I needed a guardian
    Cm                  Eb
And now that I've got one I wanna be free
Bb            Fm             Cm
I don't wanna live my life unhappily
Eb                   Bb                     Fm
I'm locked up in chains, laid out on the floor
          Cm
I've been down this road before
Eb                Bb                Fm
I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna bleed
          Cm                Bb
No matter how hard it might be


[Chorus]
           Fm Eb           Bb
I wanna be free from the dark that lives deep inside of me
Fm Eb               Bb
Free from all the eyes I see watching over me
Ab                   Eb
Don't want you to be there
                    Cm           Bb
Don't want you to care for me anymore
           Fm Eb             Db
I wanna be free of the guardian
Ab             Bb
I am the guardian


[Verse 2]
Eb                 Bb                Fm
The small town girl that I'm looking for
        Cm
There's something I'd like more
Eb             Bb                  Fm
To feel like a child somewhere within
        Cm
Nothing left beneath this skin
Eb                Bb              Fm
Too tired to live, too tired to die
     Cm
So I just stay high
Eb           Bb                     Fm
I just wanna leave, it's swallowing me
         Cm            Bb
Should I just keep trying?


[Chorus]
           Fm Eb           Bb
I wanna be free from the dark that lives deep inside of me
Fm Eb               Bb
Free from all the eyes I see watching over me
Ab                   Eb
Don't want you to be there
                    Cm           Bb
Don't want you to care for me anymore
           Fm Eb             Db
I wanna be free of the guardian
Ab             Bb
I am the guardian
