G
At 14 I used to talk to myself
Em G
Paint my bedroom with stars
One for each time my dad flaked out
Em C
Got a galaxy of scars
Em
You know that feeling that you get when ya start to run out of breath
G D
And ya pass out, wake up, wig out not knowing where you are
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
I’m safer here inside my submarine
C Em D
‘Cause when I’m under water you can’t say anything
Em D
I can’t hear anything
[Chorus]
G D
O-o-o-ohio
C
I don’t need Hollywood
G D
I don’t need New York heights or Las Vegas lights
G D
I need O-o-o-ohio
C
I’ve never even been there
G D Em
But I’d rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio
C
Ohio
G
Ohio
D
Ohio
[Verse 2]
G
Last time I saw your face
Em G
You were screaming that I don’t have a clue
I’m not a deadbeat piece of shit
D C
Dad, I never learned that from you
You know that feeling when you’re weak
Em
And ya, wish your brain could delete for ya,
G D
All the types of twisted contradictions that I worked so hard to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
I’m safer here inside my submarine
C Em D
‘Cause when I’m under water you can’t throw words at me
Em D
I’m just learning how to leap
[Chorus]
G D
O-o-o-ohio
C
I don’t need Hollywood
G D
I don’t need New York heights or Las Vegas lights
G D
I need O-o-o-ohio
C
I’ve never even been there
G D Em
But I’d rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio
C
Ohio
G
Ohio
D
Ohio
G D
O-o-o-ohio
C
I don’t need Hollywood
G D
I don’t need New York heights or Las Vegas lights
G D
I need O-o-o-ohio
C
I’ve never even been there
G D Em
But I’d rather fall asleep in an open field in Ohio
