Verse 1:
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

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 2:
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
                                       F
Wishin' I was the way you say that you are
                                    C
You'll go fight a war, I'll go missing

I warned you
                       F
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
                               F
I wanna hurt the way that boys do

Maybe you're right
                                C
And we should stop watchin' the news
(nc)
'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                       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)
               F
Wake up on our own (Wake up on our own)
                   C
Held close all the time, knowin'
      Gsus4
(Knowin')
                 F
This was all for you

Post-chorus:
Think of us inside
C
  Gardenias on the tile
         Gsus4
Where it makes no difference
                   F
Who held back from who

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
