[Verse 1]
A
Waking up beside you
G
brings a kind of refuge
D
It's the armor that
A
I need to face the day
A G
For a second I forgot that
D
you were leaving soon
A
Then the armor falls away
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A
This time there's no broken hearts
Em7
And no one ran 'cause it got hard
Bm7 A
This missing you is temporary pain
[Chorus]
A
I'm happy to be sad
Em7
I'm sad that you are gone
Bm7
If I was feeling nothing
I would feel like
A
something's wrong
A
I'm grateful to be crying
Em7
I'm crying over you
Bm7
I'm lucky that we love so good
D
it has to hurt this bad
A
I'm happy to be sad
[Post-Chorus]
G
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Bm7
Do-do-do-do-do-do
A
Do-do-do, do-do-do
[Verse 2]
A Em7
Only me, myself, and all my thoughts
Bm7
I thought that I would start to
A
crumble in the lonely
A
(Start to crumble in the lo-)
But I'll get to
Em7
know the momentary misery
Bm7 A
Just to know somebody knows me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A
This time there's no hopeless nights
Em7
No losing sleep, no pointless fights
Bm7
Just missing you,
A
'til you come back and hold me
[Chorus]
