[Verse 1]
  D                     D           Aadd11
Remember coming home at four in the morning

D                       D Aadd11
  Before the sun was up

D                          D       Aadd11
  Back when the east was a fire of gold

     D                           D      Aadd11  D            
Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love

    D     Aadd11
hey   hey

   G
Yeah

    D/G                     A          
Our hope is just a metaphor, of something better

    D/G                  A
For all of our dreams tonight

    D/G                     A  
And fear is just a shadow of  

                           D/G                       A            
the things that matter the most and I fear that I'm losing hope tonight 
[Chorus]
D
(Ohhh, oh)I feel like I'm dreaming

D
 (Oh-oh) Staring up at the ceiling

D/G
(Ohhh, oh) It's four in the morning, 

D/G
  I can't sleep and it feels like a warning

D
(Ohhh, oh) Yeah would you believe me

D
  If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling

D/G               
(Ohhh, oh) The words that I wanted to say
N.C. I feel them slipping away [Instrumental] D D Aadd11 D D Aadd11 D D Aadd11 D D Aadd11 [Verse 2]
  D                         D        Aadd11
Remember that kid with the quivering lip

      D                              D         Aadd11
Whose heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit

      D             D        Aadd11
Where are you now? 

      D             D        Aadd11
Where are you now?

   D                      D/G          Aadd11
Remember that kid, didn't know when to quit

  D                         D/G          Aadd11
I still lose my breath when I think about it

    D               D/G 
Oh, where'd you go?

    G
(Oh where'd you go?)
[Chorus]

Bm                               A
  I know this isn't what you had wanted

                              G
Past words in the present are haunting us now

    G
And on and on and on and on (I feel them slipping away)

Bm                                 A
  My heartbeat could tell you it's urgent

                       G                     G
I try to shout but the words don't come out  ooh, wayyy
