Tonality
C F G Cmaj7



 Intro: C F C F
  
 Verse:
  F
 We were in a race to grow up
      C
 Yesterday, through today, ʼtil tomorrow
  F
 But when the plant blew up
                C                                  G
 A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you
              F
 The doctors gave you until the end of the night
                  C
 But not ʼtil daylight (Not ʼtil daylight),
   C
 not ʼtil daylight (Not ʼtil daylight)
 
  F
 Time passes slower in the flicker of the hospital light
  C                             Cmaj7
 I pray the race is worth the fight
         F
 Made a fool of myself down on Tennessee Street
            C
 It wasnʼt pretty like the movies
                                        F
 It was ugly, like what they all did to me
                                            C
 And they did to me what I wouldnʼt Do to anyone
                      Cmaj7
 You know thatʼs for sure
 
 Chorus:
                  F
 Tell me all the time not to worry
                       C                         Cmaj7
 And think of all the time Iʼll, Iʼll have with you
                            F
 When I wonʼt wake up on my own (Wake up on my own), wake up on my own
                      C                         Cmaj7
 Held close all the time, knowing Iʼm half of you
 
 Post-chorus:
  F
 (Mm mm mm, mm mm mm)
  C
 (Mm mm mm, mm mm mm)
  F                   Cmaj7
 (Mm mm, mm mm, mm mm mm)
                   F
 (Mm mm mm, mm mm mm)
                    C Cmaj7
 (Mm mm mm, mm mm mm)
 
 Verse:
 F
 Lay me down where the trees bend low
 C
 Put me down where the greenery stings
         F
 I can hear them singinʼ
                    C                  Cmaj7
 "To love me is to suffer me", and I believe it
 
  F                                       C
 When I lay with you in that auld lang room
  C                 G                   F
 Wishinʼ I was the way you say that you are
 F                                   C
 Youʼll Go fight a war, Iʼll Go missing
  C                 G                  F
 I warned you, for me, itʼs not that hard
 
 Pre-chorus:
   F
 That picture on the wall youʼre scared of looks just like you
  C                 G                           F
 I wanna bleed, I wanna hurt the way that boys do
   F                                                 C
 Maybe youʼre right and we should stop watchinʼ the news
   C                  G
 ʼCause, baby, Iʼve never seen brown eyes look so blue
 
 Chorus:
                  F
 Tell me all the time (Tell me all the time)
 F
 Not to worry (Not to worry)
                        C                         G
 And think of all the time Iʼll, Iʼll have with you
   G                         F
 When I wonʼt wake up on my own (Wake up on my own),
  F
 Wake up on my own
  F                    C                        G
 Held close all the time, knowinʼ Iʼm half of you
 
                F
 Think of us inside (Think of us inside),
   F
 After the wedding (After the wedding)
                C                     G
 Sufferinʼ the while to lie a time or two
 G                             F
 When we wonʼt wake up on our own (Wake up on our own),
  F
 Wake up on our own (Wake up on our own)
                     C                  G
 Held close all the time, knowinʼ (Knowinʼ)
  G               F
 This was all for you
 
 Post-chorus:
   F
 Think of us inside
 C                                 G
 Gardenias on the tile, where it makes no difference
                     F C G F
 Who held back from who
 
 Outro:
 
 To love me is to suffer me
