[Verse 1]

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
