So near asleep I hear your breath:

the root of living in your chest.

C majorC FF A minorAm FF
The brains that your dad said you had,

you lost them. Terrified of our potential,
C majorC FF A minorAm FF
and all the ways we might fail to meet it.
Chorus:
FF G+G
‘Round here we are all the same,

we want sleep with no bad dreams

in our own bed with heat
G+G FF C majorC
from somebody who won’t keep me awake.

C majorC FF A minorAm FF
when everything else starts to slip,

is sleeping over your parents’ bedroom.

For me you shut it, then came back to bed.

that we think we could help each other.

I will stay by your side
G+G FF A minorAm
and be company ‘til the morning light.
