Verse 1:
Gbm7                 A                      Dbm             B
It's getting hard to hide this tainted lullaby talking in my sleep
Gbm7               A                      Dbm                    B
The sky is falling down its getting closer now its getting hard to breathe
A                 Dbm              B
Your hold has kept my heart in chains
A                 Dbm              B
For so long I've waited for it to break
 
Chorus:
Dbm7             B                           A     B
Something in the air's got me feeling you're here again
Dbm7                   B               A     Gbm7  Abm7
And I was missing the dark without you near again
Dbm7             B            A        B
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Dbm7                   B                   A        Gbm7  Abm7
Oh I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
Dbm7  B  A  Gbm7  Abm7
Ooooo
Dbm7                    B                   A       Gbm7  Abm7
And I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams
 
Verse 2:
Gbm7                A                         Dbm                   B
My mind has been so loud, with no way to break out, with nowhere to be still
Gbm7               A                      Dbm                    B
It's time to cut these ties, and watch our shadows fly, let the dark flood in
A                 Dbm              B
Your hold has kept my heart in chains
A                 Dbm              B
For so long I've waited for it to break
 
Chorus:
Dbm7             B                           A     B
Something in the air's got me feeling you're here again
Dbm7                   B               A     Gbm7  Abm7
And I was missing the dark without you near again
Dbm7             B            A        B
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Dbm7                   B                   A        Gbm7  Abm7
Oh I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
 
Bridge:
A             B
I'm not afraid to be alone
Dbm            B
To feel space, to know you're gone
A             B
To lose control if nothing more
Dbm            B
To feel the burn
 
Chorus:
Dbm7             B                           A     B
Something in the air's got me feeling you're here again
Dbm7                   B               A     Gbm7  Abm7
And I was missing the dark without you near again
Dbm7             B            A        B
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Dbm7                   B                   A        Gbm7  Abm7
