 C majorC   | C majorC   | C majorC   | C majorC   :

Verse 1:
C majorC     C/BC/B       Am7Am7
 Some are born to endless night
      Am7/GAm7/G       FF
I'd say my namesake got that right
    C/EC/E      Dm7Dm7
I wake up before the dawn
      Gadd11 G+G Gadd9Gadd9 G+G
To start my dreaming  of   you
C majorC       C/BC/B      Am7Am7
 I don't know what I want to be
      Am7/GAm7/G        FF
The mirror just stares back at me
       C/EC/E      Dm7Dm7
And now with time not on my side
      Gadd11 G+G Gadd9Gadd9 G+G
I know it's make  or break

Chorus:
    A minorAm       Am/GAm/G
It was fortune that I found you
    FF      C/EC/E
Could exist and be around you
    Dm7Dm7      G+G      G#dimG#dim
From a breakdown to a breakthrough
    A minorAm      Am/GAm/G
No more doubt nor hesitation
    FF       C/EC/E
Getting high on self-sedation
    Dm7Dm7    Gadd11 G+G
Living life in isolation


Post-Chorus:
 C majorC   | Cmaj7Cmaj7 | C majorC   | Cmaj7Cmaj7 :


Verse 2:
C majorC      C/BC/B      Am7Am7
 Now I don't know where I belong
     Am7/GAm7/G        FF
But I can see you through the throng
      C/EC/E      Dm7Dm7
If I could find a way to you
       Gadd11 G+G   Gadd9Gadd9 G+G
You know that I    would take  it
C majorC       C/BC/B      Am7Am7
 This life is hard, it isn't long
     Am7/GAm7/G      FF
And I so often get things wrong
       C/EC/E       Dm7Dm7
If you would keep me in your heart
       Gadd11 G+G Gadd9Gadd9 G+G
You know I'd never   break it

Chorus:
    A minorAm       Am/GAm/G

From a breakdown to a breakthrough
    A minorAm      Am/GAm/G

Living life in isolation
