Verse:
F              C
wake up in the middle of the night
G                      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
F                C
the hands on the cigarette clock are just
G            Dm                  Bb
time ticking away this love i've got
                  F            C
there's no way to make it stop before you wake

Chorus:
Bb            F       C
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
Bb            F       C
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

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