Verse:
E    B       A      B  E
 I'm halfway gone
E      B       A          B  E
 sleepless i'm battleworn
A2              B2
  You're all I want
A2                B2
  so bring me the dawn

Chorus:
A           E                   B           E/C# 
I need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart I'm shaking
A       E          B    
oh, my luck could change
A           E                       B               E/C# 
Been in the dark for weeks and i've realised you're all i need
  A             E       B     
I hope that I'm not too late
  A        E       B    
I hope I'm not too late

A       E      B    
whoo oo oo oh oh
A       E      B    
whoo oo oo oh oh

Verse:
E     B      A          B      E
 Back of the room, how come my friends already know you
  E    B      A          B      E
I feel like a kid - too shy to speak up so i keep it hid
   A2    B2         A2        B2
oh butterflies, you steal my sleep each night

Chorus:
A           E                   B           E/C# 
I need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart I'm shaking
A       E          B    
oh, my luck could change
A           E                       B               E/C# 
Been in the dark for weeks and i've realised you're all i need
  A             E       B     
I hope that I'm not too late
  A        E       B    
I hope I'm not too late

A       E      B    
whoo oo oo oh oh
A       E      B
