I don't wanna go back home 
C       D 
Too many staring faces 
E                  D#m 
Wishing they could drag me down 
E          A# 
Waiting to pull me under 
E           A 
I've shaken off my chains 
E           A 
But I still feel those shackles

It's a fine line walking when they're scratching at my door 
G            G#     E    G            G# 
Head full of voices screaming out for more
