Intro (x4): D Bm A

Verse:
      D             Bm A
I've woken up, it's 4am
       D           Bm      A
and I'm unable to breathe again
   D                Bm    A
my lungs have given up on me
       D         Bm    A
and my throat is collapsing


G
I will cough the night away
Bm                 A
I will cough all through the day
G
I won't stop, despite the medicine
Bm      A
until 3am the next morning

Instrumental (x4): D Bm A

    D                 Bm      A
And I know you're not asleep yet
     D                   Bm A
for God's sake, it's only 4am
                 D                      Bm      A
You're probably thinking about what you want to be
       D            Bm        A
despite not knowing what that means


            G
And you will think the night away
            Bm            A
And you will think all through the day
         G
You won't sleep, despite the medicine
      Bm  A
until 3am the next morning

  She's a social smoker
Bm              G
  I'm an asthma patient
D              A                 Bm
  She's experimenting with not breathing
            G
and I want out


D              A
 She wants to live her life
    Bm            G
but doesn't know how
     D          A
well neither do I
            Bm              G

Interlude (x4): D Bm A

     D            Bm   A
She wants to move far away
        D                Bm      A
but is worried she'll be out of place
              D
and there's a look on her face
              Bm          A         D     Bm A
that says her heart's beginning to race


               D           Bm       A
She says, "The way it is, makes me angry
           D             Bm         A
and I don't want you to think of me badly"
    D             Bm       A
but I swallow my pride and I say
     D              Bm        A
"You gotta do what makes you happy"


G
I will cough the night away
Bm                 A
