🎸 Mansion chords by NF

Capo 1

(Chorus)
Am
Insidious is blind inception
F
What's reality with all these questions?
Dm                    F
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in (slept in)
Am
Broken legs but I chase perfection
F
These walls are my blank expression
 Dm
My mind is a home I'm trapped in
  F
And it's lonely inside this mansion

(Instrumental Am  F)
Am
Yo my mind is a house with walls covered in lyrics
     F
They're all over the place, there's songs in the mirrors
        Am        F
Written all over the floors, all over the chairs
            G
And you get the uncut version of life when I go downstairs
       Am
That's where I write when I'm in a bad place and need to release
    F
And let out the version of NF you don't want to see
   Dm
I put holes in the walls with both of my fists 'til they bleed
               F           G
You might get a glimpse of how I cope with all this anger in me
 G              Am
Physically abused, now that's the room that I don't want to be in
          F
That picture ain't blurry at all, I just don't want to see it
     Dm
And these walls ain't blank, I just think I don't want to see 'em
     F           G
But why not? I'm in here, so I might as well read 'em
     Am
I gotta thank you for this anger that I carry around
   F
Wish I could take a match and burn this whole room to the ground
           F#m         F
Matter of fact I think I'm a burn this room right now
           G
So now this memory for some reason just won't come down
      Am                     F
You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes

Then took me downstairs and beat me 'til I screamed and I cried
Dm                       F
Congratulations, you'll always have a room in my mind
                   G       Am
But I'm a keep the door shut and lock the lyrics inside

(Repeat chorus)


[Verse 2 - NF:]
Am
Yo my mind is a house with walls covered in pain
        F
See my problem is I don't fix things
            Dm
I just try to repaint, cover em up, like it never happen
                  F
Say I wish I could change. Are you confused?

Come upstairs and I'll show you what I mean
       Am
This room's full of regrets, just keeps getting fuller it seems
        F
The moment I walk in to it is the same moment that I wanna leave
 Dm
I get sick to my stomach every time I look at these things
   F                      F#m
But it's hard to look past when this is the room where I sleep
Dm
I look around. One of the worst things I wrote on these walls
 F
Was the moment I realized that I was losing my mom
        Dm            F
And one of the first things I wrote was I was shot with a call
               G
But I should just stop now, we ain't got enough room in this song
       Am                 F
And I regret the fact that I struggled trying to find who I am

And I lie to myself and say I do the best that I can

Shrug it off like it ain't nothing like it's out of my hands
                  G
Then get ticked off whenever I see it affecting my plans
       Am             F
And I regret watching these trust issues eat me alive

And at the rate I'm going they'll probably still be there when I die
Dm
Congratulations, you'll always have a room in my mind
 F                   G
The question is: Will I ever clean the walls off in time?

(repeat chorus)


[Verse 3 - NF:]
 Am            F#m
So this part of my house, no one's been in it for years
 F
I built the safe room and I don't let no one in there
    Dm
Cause if I do, there's a chance
                F
That they might disappear and not come back
           G         Am
And I admit I am emotionally scared to let anyone inside

So I just leave my doors locked
      F
You might get other doors to open up but this doors not
           Dm
Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me
       F                    G
And I'll be the only person that I can blame when you desert me

I'm barricaded inside
  Am
So stop watching
 F
I'm not coming to the door

So stop knocking, stop knocking
Am
I'm trapped here
           F
God keep saying I'm not locked in

I chose this
 G
I am lost in my own conscious
         C           F
I know that shutting the wall down ain't solving the problem

But I didn't build this house because I thought it would solve 'em
Am             F
I built it because I thought that it would be safer in there
          G
But it's not, I'm not the only thing that's living in here
Am
Fear came to my house years ago I let 'em in
F
Maybe that's the problem

Cause I've been dealing with this ever since
        Dm               F
I thought that he would leave, but it's obvious he never did
                   G
He must have picked the room and got comfortable and settled in
        Am
Now I'm in the position it's either sit here and let him win
  F                      C
Or put him back outside where he came from, but I never can
Dm
Cause in order to do that I'd have to open the doors
F
Is that me or the fear talking?

I don't know anymore

Instrumental: Am F  Dm  F  Am  F  Dm
Am      F
It's lonely
 Dm
Inside this mansion
