Verse:
FC
wake up in the middle of the night
GDmBb
the air is so heavy my head's screwed on too tight
FC
and in the glow of the christmas lights i watch you sleep
FC
the hands on the cigarette clock are just
GDmBb
time ticking away this love i've got
FC
there's no way to make it stop before you wake
Chorus:
BbFC
i know you're leaving me
BbFC
this is not the way that i was brought up to believe that it would be
BbFC
i know you're leaving me
BbF
i'm running round in circles trying to figure out
C
just who i'm supposed to be
Verse:
we go down to prospect park
to watch the light become the dark
and i don't think i've ever been this scared
outside as the yellow moon rises
i know this time it won't surprise us
but that don't mean that i will be prepared
Chorus
Bridge:
DmG
i'm so tired of writing sad songs
FAG
but my mind's on misery
DmG
and i know there's time until you're gone
Bb
but i can't let it be
C
i can't let it be
