I Don’t Live There Anymore

Intro
Fm – Db – Ab – Eb (x2)
[Spoken] I thought losing you would break me… Turns out, staying almost
did.
Verse 1
Fm I used to memorize your storms,
Db Just to keep the peace.
Ab Learned how to shrink myself down
Eb So you could feel complete.
Fm I wore your chaos like a coat,
Db Called it loyalty.
Ab But love shouldn’t feel like survival…
Eb Or begging just to breathe.
Pre-Chorus
Db I kept waiting for you to change,
Ab While I disappeared.
Eb Now I hear my own voice again—
Fm It’s the loudest it’s been in years.
Chorus
Fm I don’t live there anymore,
Db In the version of me you controlled.
Ab I locked the door, I found the strength
Eb To let go of what I couldn’t hold.
Fm You don’t get my heart like before,
Db You don’t get to hurt me to feel whole.
Ab I’m finally standing on my own—
Eb I don’t live there anymore.
Verse 2
Fm I used to call your silence love,
Db Thought distance meant you cared.
Ab Now I see the truth in it—
Eb You were never really there.
Fm And I don’t hate you like I thought,
Db I just see you clear.
Ab You gave me all the reasons
Eb To finally leave you here.
Pre-Chorus 2
Db It wasn’t love, it was a cage,
Ab Dressed up in your skin.
Eb And I kept handing you the key—
Fm Now I’m taking it back again.
Chorus 2
Fm I don’t live there anymore,
Db In the version of me you controlled.
Ab I locked the door, I found the strength
Eb To let go of what I couldn’t hold.
Fm You don’t get my heart like before,
Db You don’t get to hurt me to feel whole.
Ab I’m finally standing on my own—
Eb I don’t live there anymore.
Bridge
Db I thought love meant losing me,
Ab Just to make you stay.
Eb But I found something stronger
Fm The moment I walked away.
Db And it hurts, yeah it hurts,
Ab But it’s clean, it’s real—
Eb This is what it feels like
Fm To finally heal.
Final Chorus (Key Change)

Bb I locked the door, I found the strength
F To let go of what I couldn’t hold.

F I don’t live there anymore.
