Keeping Me Awake

	  		 
 

 

Intro: E Emaj7 A (4x)
 
E         Emaj7         A 
Summer it came, like a light across the highlands 
E      Emaj7    A 
And we laid it down 
E          Emaj7          A 
You wore a dress made of light from the islands 
E            Emaj7        A 
And we sent postcards home 

E Emaj7 A (2x) 

In dying light, this was not to be forgotten 
As we are chosen few 
Into the sea, with a touch as soft as cotton 
Beneath this angel moon 


F#m                  B 
It's been keeping me awake 
E            Emaj7               A 
Leaving this behind was my first mistake 
F#m              B 
And I'm not so strong 
      E            Emaj7      A 
To be satisfied by all the things I've done 
F#m                     B 
And the things I threw away... 


E Emaj7 A (2x) 

You wrote your name as we lay among the heather 
Of what you left behind 
Following past, that would lead us both together 
And let us lose our minds 

 

F#m                  B 
It's been keeping me awake 
E            Emaj7               A 
Leaving this behind was my first mistake 
F#m              B 
And I'm not so strong 
      E            Emaj7      A 
To be satisfied by all the things I've done 
F#m                     B 
Or the things I threw away... 


E Emaj7 A (2x) 

Summer it fell, and it coursed across the highlands 
And so quickly gone 
Your faded dress for years now tied away and silent 
And as the nights lay low 


F#m                  B 
It's been keeping me awake 
E            Emaj7               A 
Leaving this behind was my first mistake 
F#m              B 
And I'm not so strong 
      E            Emaj7      A 
To be satisfied by all the things I've done 
F#m                     B 
Or the things I threw away... 
E            Emaj7      A 
                 The things I threw away 
E            Emaj7      A 
                 The things I threw away 
E            Emaj7      A 
                 The things I threw away
