G              Am
wake up in the middle of the night
    Dm                                         Bb
the air is so heavy my head's screwed on too tight
                        F                            C
and in the glow of the christmas lights i watch you sleep
G                 Am
the hands on the cigarette clock are just
Dm                               Bb
time ticking away this love i've got
                   F              C
there's no way to make it stop before you wake

Dm                    G
i know you're leaving me
                 Bb              F            C
this is not the way that i was brought up to believe that it would be
Dm                    G
i know you're leaving me
                      Bb                F
i'm running round in circles trying to figure out
C
just who i'm supposed to be

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


Repeat Chorus

G      Am               Dm
i'm so tired of writing sad songs
Bb     F             C
but my mind's on misery
G      Am                 Dm
and i know there's time until you're gone
            Bb
but i can't let it be
         F     C
i can't let it be


Repeat Chorus
