              A                       G#  
It's okay in the day I'm staying busy  
C#m                                       C  
Tied up in love so I don't have to wonder where is he  
E                 
Got so sick of crying  
C#m  
So just lately  
C                         F#m  F  
When I catch myself I do a 180  
A                
I stay up clean the house  
G#  
At least I'm not drinking  
C#m                                      C  
Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking  
E  
That silent sense of content  
C#m  
That everyone gets  
C                         F#m      F  
Just disappears soon as the sun sets  
 
D                                      
This face in my dreams sees in my guts  
G              E  
He floats me with dread  
D  
Soaked in soul  
               G           E  
He swims in my eyes by the bed  
D   
Pour myself over him  
G  
Moon spilling in  
C      Bm      Bb  
And I wake up alone  
 
A  
If I was my heart  
G#  
I'd rather be restless  
C#m                                         C  
The second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm breathless  
E  
This ache in my chest  
C#m  
As my day is done now  
C                        F#m     F  
The dark covers me and I cannot run now  
A  
My blood running cold  
G#  
I stand before him  
C#m               C  
It's all I can do to assure him  
E  
When he comes to me  
C#m  
I drip for him tonight  
C                               F#m     F  
Drowning in me we bathe under blue light  
 
D  
His face in my dreams sees in my guts  
G                 E  
He floats me with dread  
D  
Soaked in soul  
G                          E  
He swims in my eyes by the bed  
D  
Pour myself over him  
G            E  
Moon spilling in  
C      Bm      Bb  
And I wake up alone  
C      Bm      Bb  
And I wake up alone  
C      Bm      Bb  
And I wake up alone  
C      Bm      Bb  
And I wake up alone
