Verse 1:
D#m                           C#                         F#
Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won
                            B
Worry and wake the ones you love
D#m                         C#
A phone call I'd rather not receive
                              F#
Please use my body while I sleep
                                   B
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep
                                  D#m
Kept clean and they will let you breathe

Pre-Chorus 1:
A#m               C#                     D#m         A#m
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
  F#                C#              D#m
I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind

Chorus:
A#m                 C#           F#
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
      C#                  G#        F#
So I sat alone and waited out the night
         A#m                 C#             F#
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
         C#                           D#m
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
         G#
I'm not writing my goodbyes

Verse 2:
D#m
I submit no excuse
 C#                        F#
If this is what I have to do
                        B
I owe you every day I wake
D#m                         C#
If I could I would shrink myself
                                      F#
And sink through your skin to your blood cells
                               B
And remove whatever makes you hurt but
                          D#m
I am too weak to be your cure

Pre-Chorus 1:
A#m               C#                     D#m         A#m
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
  F#                C#              D#m
I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind

Chorus:
A#m                 C#           F#
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
      C#                  G#        F#
So I sat alone and waited out the night
         A#m                 C#             F#
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
         C#                           D#m

Bridge:

I'm not letting you check out
         D#                 C#
You will beat this, starting now
               G#           B
And you will always be around
D#m    C#     A#m          B
I'm there to monitor your breathing
        D#m                    C#
I will watch you while you're sleeping
        G#               D#m
I will keep you safe and sound

Pre-Chorus 2:
A#m            C#                F#
Does anybody remember back when you were very young?
         A#m            G#                 D#m
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?

Chorus:

Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
      C#                  G#        F#
