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
                                       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

Pre-Chorus

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

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)
               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

Post-Chorus

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)
