[Intro] F C F C F C F C F C F C [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) [Instrumental] Fmaj9 C G Fmaj9 C G Fmaj7 C G/B [Outro]
Fmaj7                        C G/B C
  To love me is to suffer me
