Capo 1

[Verse 1]
   BmIt (x24432@1)starts with a picture
       AAnd (x02220@1)it sits in your frame
       EAnd (022100@1)we part with a letter

And it ends in your name
       BmAnd (x24432@1)it starts with forever
       AAnd (x02220@1)it ends with a touch
      EAnd (022100@1)I know that you're clever

And I don't ask for much

[Transition]
GMaybe (320003@1)we forgot all the things we are
       AWe (x02220@1)are together (aah)

[Verse 2]
    BmYou (x24432@1)said I'm arresting
    AYou (x02220@1)said I had heat
         EI (022100@1)really thought we'd go further

The second time we'd meet
           Bm'Cause (x24432@1)I'm tired of trying to keep you
      AAll (x02220@1)I want to do is sleep
       EThen (022100@1)perhaps when I'm sleeping

You'll get back on your feet

[Transition]
GMaybe (320003@1)we forgot all the things we are
       AWe (x02220@1)are together (aah)

[Chorus]
D (xx0232@1)Wake me up
A (x02220@1)Wake me up
Bm (x24432@1)Stop my fall 
               DEvery (xx0232@1)time you go
          ATape (x02220@1)me up
               BmThen (x24432@1)break me up
             GEver (320003@1)so gently
                    BmWhen (x24432@1)I'm at my weakest
     A (x02220@1)     GIt's (320003@1)not so hard
A (x02220@1)            BmEvery (x24432@1)time you go

[Verse 3]
   BmI (x24432@1)ran out to meet you
       AWhen (x02220@1)I knew the storm had come
      EAnd (022100@1)I felt the rain on your face

And the damage you had done
  BmI (x24432@1)know what you're thinking
        AIt (x02220@1)will never be the end
    EAnd (022100@1)when the storm is over

You won't see me again (aah)

[Transition]
GDidn't (320003@1)know the price I paid for all the times I stayed
             AWhen (x02220@1)we were together (aah)

[Chorus]
D (xx0232@1)       AWake (x02220@1)me up
          BmWake (x24432@1)me up

Stop my fall
                DEvery (xx0232@1)time you go
          ATape (x02220@1)me up
              BmThen (x24432@1)break me up
             GEver (320003@1)so gently
                    BmWhen (x24432@1)I'm at my weakest
     A (x02220@1)     GIt's (320003@1)not so hard
A (x02220@1)             BmEvery (x24432@1)time you go

[Bridge]
BmMaybe (x24432@1)we forgot
AAre (x02220@1)we awake or not
EMaybe (022100@1)we forgot

Are we awake or not
BmMaybe (x24432@1)we forgot
A (x02220@1)               EAre (022100@1)we awake or not

Or maybe we forgot

[Repeat chorus]
