[Intro] FCFCFCFCFCFC[Verse] Fmaj7
We were in a race to grow up
C
Yesterday, through today, 'til tomorrow
Fmaj7
But when the plant blew up
C
A piece of shrapnel flew
Gsus4
And slowed that part of you
Fmaj7
The doctors gave you
until the end of the night
C
But not 'til daylight
(Not 'til daylight)
Gsus4
Not 'til daylight
(Not 'til daylight)
Fmaj7
Time passes slower in the flicker
C
Of the hospital light
Gsus4
I pray the race is worth the fight
Fmaj7
Made a fool of myself down on
Tennessee Street
C
It wasn't pretty like the movies
It was ugly
F6
Like what they all did to me
And they did to me what C I wouldn't do to anyone
Gsus4
You know that's for sure
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
Tell me all the time not to worry
C
And think of all the time I'll
Gsus4
I'll have with you
Fmaj7
When I won't wake up on my own
(Wake up on my own)
C
Wake up on my own
Held close all the time
Gsus4
Knowing I'm half of you
[Post-Chorus]
Fmaj7
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
C Gsus4
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
Fmaj7
(Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
C Gsus4
(Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
Fmaj7
(Mm-mm-mm)
[Verse]
Lay me down where the trees bend low
C
Put me down
where the greenery stings
F6
I can hear them, singin'
C
To love me is to suffer me
Gsus4
And I believe it
Fmaj7
When I lay with you
C
In that auld lang room
Wishin' I was the way Fmaj9 you say that you are
You'll go fight a war, C I'll go missing
I warned you
Fmaj9
For me it's not that hard
[Pre-Chorus]
That picture on the wall
you're scared of
C
Looks just like you
Gsus4
I wanna bleed
Fmaj9
I wanna hurt the way that boys do
Maybe you're right
C
And we should stop watchin' the news
N.C.
'Cause, baby
I've never seen
brown eyes look so blue
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
Tell me all the time
(Tell me all the time)
Not to worry (Not to worry)
C
And think of all the time I'll
Gsus4
I'll have with you
Fmaj7
When I won't wake up on my own
(Wake up on my own)
Wake up on my own
C
Held close all the time
Gsus4
Knowing I'm half of you
Fmaj7
Think of us inside
(Think of us inside)
After the wedding
(After the wedding)
C
Sufferin' the while to Gsus4 lie a time or two
Fmaj7
When we won't wake up on our own
(Wake up on our own)
Fmaj9
Wake up on our own
(Wake up on our own)
C
Held close all the time, knowin'
Gsus4
(Knowin')
Fmaj9
This was all for you
[Post-Chorus]
Think of us inside
C
Gardenias on the tile
Gsus4
Where it makes no difference
Fmaj9
Who held back from who
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
