F
We were in a race to grow up

Yesterday, through today, 'til tomorrow

A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you

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

Made a fool of myself down on Tennessee Street

It wasn't pretty like the movies

It was ugly, like what they all did to me

And they did to me what I wouldn't Do to anyone

You know that's for sure

Tell me all the time not to worry
C Cmaj7
And think of all the time I'll, I'll have with you

Held close all the time, knowing I'm half of you
