 🎸 Intro: 

 C F C F
 

 🎸 Verse:
 F
 We were in a race to grow up
 C
 Yesterday, through today, 'til 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 'til daylight (Not 'til daylight),
 C
 not 'til daylight (Not 'til 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 wasn't pretty like the movies
 F
 It was ugly, like what they all did to me
 C
 And they did to me what I wouldn't Do to anyone
 Cmaj7
 You know that's for sure


 🎸 Chorus: 
 F
 Tell me all the time not to worry
 C                         Cmaj7
 And think of all the time I'll, I'll have with you
 F
 When I won't wake up on my own (Wake up on my own), wake up on my own
 C                         Cmaj7
 Held close all the time, knowing I'm half of you

 (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 singin'
 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
 Wishin' I was the way you say that you are
 F                                   C
 You'll Go fight a war, I'll Go missing
 C                 G                  F
 I warned you, for me, it's not that hard

 🎸 PRE-Chorus: 
 F
 That picture on the wall you're scared of looks just like you
 C                 G                           F
 I wanna bleed, I wanna hurt the way that boys do
 F                                                 C
 Maybe you're right and we should stop watchin' the news
 C                  G
 'Cause, baby, I've 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 I'll, I'll have with you

 When I won't wake up on my own (Wake up on my own),
 F
 Wake up on my own
 F                    C                        G
 Held close all the time, knowin' I'm half of you

 Think of us inside (Think of us inside),

 After the wedding (After the wedding)
