Key: F#
 
INTRO
F# - D#m - C#m7
Bmaj7 - F#/A# - G#m - B/C#
 
VERSE 1
    F#
There’s been a lot of expectations
    D#m          C#m7
Didn’t know my heart was breaking, at all the things
Bmaj7              F#/A#
I didn’t do, didn’t live up to
G#m                        C#7
What everybody said I should be
F#
Now I’m tired and I’m worn out
D#m                 C#m7
From listening to all the doubt
Bmaj7               F#/A#
It’s like I’ve been suffocating, like I’m wasting
Emaj7          B/C#
Time on a crazy dream
 
CHORUS
  F#                   D#m
I need a safe place I can run and hide
G#m                                     B/C#
Where somebody says “Just come inside!”
F#                         D#m
Be yourself, take a breath,
G#m                                  B/C#
Everybody needs a little rest
 
POST HOOK
F# - D#m
I need a safe place
G#m7 - F#/A# - B/C#
 
VERSE 2
       F#
Need a place where all the walls are high
                           D#m                C#m7
Where the door’ll lock and I’m alright
Bmaj7                  F#/A#
Where everything’s quiet, sitting in the silence
G#m                        C#7
Don’t even have to speak
F#
You already know it anyway
D#m                                         C#m7
Everything that I would wanna say
    Bmaj7                          F#/A#
It’s a feeling that I can’t ignore, when there’s nothing more
Emaj7               B/C#
That I need to be
 
CHORUS
 
POST HOOK x2
F# - D#m
Need a safe place
G#m7 - F#/A# - B/C#
 
BRIDGE
G#m
When the ground is shaking
B/C#
When the voices rush in
G#m
I hear you saying
B/C#
“Oh my darling,”
 
CHORUS 2
     F#                            D#m
I’ll be your safe place, you can run and hide
G#m                                         B/C#
I’m the one who says, “Just come and abide!”
       D#m            G#7 
Be yourself, take a breath
       Bmaj7                           B/C#
And when you need a little rest
 
CHORUS
POST HOOK x4
F# - D#m
G#m - F#/A# - B/C#
