Verse:
F5              C5
wake up in the middle of the night
G5                      D5                    Bb5
the air is so heavy my head's screwed on too tight
                       F5                  C5
and in the glow of the christmas lights i watch you sleep
F5                C5
the hands on the cigarette clock are just
G5            D5                  Bb5
time ticking away this love i've got
                  F5            C5
there's no way to make it stop before you wake

Chorus:
Bb5            F5       C5
i know you're leaving me
                Bb5             F5             C5
this is not the way that i was brought up to believe that it would be
Bb5            F5       C5
i know you're leaving me
                     Bb5                F5
i'm running round in circles trying to figure out
C5
just who i'm supposed to be

Verse:
we go down to prospect park
to watch the light become the dark
and i don't think i've ever been this scared
outside as the yellow moon rises
i know this time it won't surprise us
but that don't mean that i will be prepared

Chorus

Bridge:
D5                      G5
i'm so tired of writing sad songs
F5                     A5  G5
but my mind's on misery
D5                        G5
and i know there's time until you're gone
            Bb5
but i can't let it be
        C5
i can't let it be
