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 
                                            C 
And they did to me what I wouldn't do to anyone 
                    Gsus4 
You know that's for sure 


                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 

 
    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)

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 
                                       Fmaj9 
Wishin' I was the way you say that you are 
                                    C 
You'll go fight a war, I'll go missing 

I warned you 
                       Fmaj9 
For me it's not that hard 



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 


                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                       Gsus4 
Sufferin' the while to 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 
 

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)
