[Intro]

G       G/E     G       G/D
C       Em      D                       x2

[Verse 1]

       G
It’s a tale of old shoes
        C         G
And soles of your feet
         Em            C
I've got blisters from running
   D
On beaches and streets

          G
I've been knocked down and out
         C              G
I've got eyes black and blue
           Em         C
'cause I'm hit in the face
         D
When I'm talking to you


[Chorus]

    C         G     G/D
Oh, don't lie down
     D
As soon as I sleep
           C            G
You'll be leaving this town
    C         G     G/D
Oh, don't lie down
           Em           D
'Cause I'm lost and I'm young
         C         G
Got my mind in the clouds
       Em       D
And if I fall asleep
           C            G
You'll be leaving this town

G       G/E     G       G/D
C       Em      D


[Verse 2]

       G
It's a tale of tied hands
    C        G
And holiday scenes
         Em         C
I've got romance in places
      D
That I've never been

         G
But I've said a hundred times
         C        G
That I'm all you need
         Em                C
But you swear you're just stubborn
    D
And I'm just naïve


[Chorus]

    C         G     G/D
Oh, don't lie down
     D
As soon as I sleep
           C            G
You'll be leaving this town
    C         G     G/D
Oh, don't lie down
            Em            D
'Cause I'm lost and I'm young
         C          G
Got my mind in the clouds
       Em       D
And if I fall asleep
           C            G
You'll be leaving this town


[Verse 3]

       G
It’s a tale of old shoes
     C             G
And soles of your feet
         Em             C
I've got blisters from running
    D
On beaches and streets

        G
In the absence of sound
          C           G
Will you sing back to me?
        Em              C
Or just whisper the thoughts
    D
And tell me to dream?


[Chorus]

    C         G     G/D
Just don't lie down
     D
As soon as I sleep
           C            G
You'll be leaving this town
    C         G     G/D
Oh, don't lie down
            Em            D
'Cause I'm lost and I'm young
        C           G
Got my mind in the clouds
       Em       D
And if I fall asleep
             C          G
You'll be leaving this town

       Em         D
Oh I’m lost, I’m young
             C            G
I’ve got my mind in the clouds
       D
And if I fall asleep
           C           G
You’ll be leaving this town
       D
Oh, if I fall asleep
           C           G
