Eb Bb
I'm just as fucked up as they say
Cm Eb
I can't fake the daytime

Found an entrance to escape into the dark

Got false lights for the sun

It's an outsider's escape for a broken heart
[Verse 1]

We hide out in the back

Like shadows in a stranger's dream

Hiding out in the back together

Hiding out in the back forever
