[Intro] D#m C# F# F# B D#m C# F# F# B [Verse 1]
D#m                           C#                         F#
Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won

                            B
Worry and wake the ones you love

D#m                         C#
A phone call I'd rather not receive

                              F#
Please use my body while I sleep

                                   B
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep

                                  D#m
Kept clean and they will let you breathe
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A#m  C#             F#                 D#m           (A#m)
  Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?

A#m C#               F#               D#m
  I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind
[Chorus]
A#m                  C#             F#
  Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,

     A#m           G#             D#m
so I sat alone and waited out the night

         A#m              C#               F#
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed,

       A#m           G#              D#m
so I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around, I'm not writing my goodbyes
[Verse 2]
D#m
I submit no excuse

 C#                        F#
If this is what I have to do

                        B
I owe you every day I wake

D#m                         C#
If I could I would shrink myself

                                      F#
And sink through your skin to your blood cells

                               B
And remove whatever makes you hurt but

                          D#m
I am too weak to be your cure
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A#m  C#             F#                 D#m           (A#m)
  Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?

A#m C#               F#               D#m
  I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind
[Chorus]
A#m                  C#             F#
  Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,

     A#m           G#             D#m
so I sat alone and waited out the night

         A#m              C#               F#
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed,

       A#m           G#              D#m
so I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around, I'm not writing my goodbyes
[Bridge]
D#m C#  F#/A#             B
I'm not letting you check out.

         D#m                 C#
You will beat this, starting now

             G#          B   F#
and you will always be around

D#m   C#     F#/A#          B
I'm there to monitor your breathing.

        D#m                   C#
I will watch you while you're sleeping,

       G#                 B   F#
I will keep you safe and sound
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A#m               C#              F#
  Does anybody remember back when you were very young?

        A#m             G#                D#m
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?
[Chorus]
A#m                  C#             F#
  Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,

     A#m           G#             D#m
so I sat alone and waited out the night

         A#m              C#               F#
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed,

       A#m           G#              D#m
so I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around, I'm not writing my goodbyes
