Jessie Reyez - NO ONE’S IN THE ROOM

[Intro]
Am Am

[Verse]
Am G
I’d go to church every sunday
C E7
But teenage love still took my virgin skin
Am G C
And the night after my first time I cried, cause I,
(E7)
I thought heaven wouldn’t let me in
Am G
Meanwhile the priest has got a boyfriend
C E7
And lots of teachers smoke weed after school
Am G
When you’re young they try to keep you in the cages but
C C#dim
Most of them don’t follow their own rules

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Spend your whole life being graded
C/E
Being told you’re not enough
F
Being told go find “the one”
G#dim Am
And sit and wait for death to come but i don’t want to
Am7/G
I need to talk to god
Am/F#
There’s things i just don’t understand

[Chorus]
F G C
Like who am I when no ones in the room?
F G C
Who am I when no ones in the room?
F
Does the voice in my head that
G Am
Talks me off the ledge belong to me?
Am/F#
Or does it come from the clouds?
F G C
Who am I when no ones in the room?

[Verse]
Am G
Go to school and get a good job
C E7
Just to work your life away and pay your debts
Am G
And even those who live their dreams out
C (E7)
Cry, cause all that glitters is not what you expect
Am G
Sometimes i don’t want to sing no more
C E7
Slit my throat and take my music back from evil men
Am G
They can put my body in the ocean
C C#dim
Where i can die wearing a smile and maybe find peace again

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Spend my whole life being graded
C/E
Being told i’m not enough
F
Being told go find “the one”
G#dim Am
And sit and wait for death to come but i don’t want to
Am7/G
I need to talk to god
Am/F#
There’s things i just don’t understand

[Chorus]
F G C
Like who am I when no ones in the room?
F G C
Who am I when no ones in the room?
F
Does the voice in my head that
G Am
Talks me off the ledge belong to me?
Am/F#
Or does it come from the clouds?
F G C
Who am I when no ones in the room?

[Bridge]
Dm E7 Am
Vices only pacify for the moment
Dm E7 Am
Vices that they made to hold our pain
Dm E7 Am
Vices only pacify for the moment
F E7/G# Am
Vices that they made to hold our pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Spend your whole life being graded
C/E
Being told i’m not enough
F
Being told go find “the one”
G#dim Am
And sit and wait for death to come but i don’t want to
Am7/G
I need to talk to god
Am/F#
There’s things i just don’t understand

[Chorus]
F G C
Like who am I when no ones in the room?
F G C
Who am I when no ones in the room?
F
Does the voice in my head that
G Am
Talks me off the ledge belong to me?
Am7/G Am/F#
Or does it come from the clouds?
F G C
Who am I when no ones in the room?

[Outro]
F G C
Who am I when no ones in the room?
