Verse 1:

G           D/F#            Em         D
I  get the same old dreams, same time every night,
C           G/B         Am      D
Fall to the ground and I wake up.
G        D/F#            Em               D
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head,
C            G/B         Am      D
Thoughts fly back to the break-up.

Pre-Chorus:

These four walls are closin' in.

So in the night I stand, beneath the back street light
C           G/B            Am           D
I read the words that you sent to me.
G              D/F#            Em                D
I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon,
C         G/B           Am      D
You can't know what you mean to me.


Pre-Chorus:
