Intro 
 
D, A (4x) 
A, D (4x) 
 
verse 1 
 
A            D              A           D 
 The moon is full but there is an incompleteness, 
A             D               A             D 
 The days are beautiful but I feel a bitter sweetness, 
F#m        Bm   F#m        E     
If I had a wish, or even a choice, 
         A         D             F#m   E 
I'd wake up to the sound of your voice, 
A                 E         A  D           A    E 
How I miss waking up to the sound of your voice. 
 
verse 2 
 
I let you down and fell right off of your good list, 
I hope each day you'll find peace and forgiveness, 
The alarm clock rings, What a lonely noise, 
And I long for the sound of your voice, 
Oh, how I miss waking up to the sound of your voice. 
 
Bridge 
 
F#m          Bm          F#m         Bm          F#m  A  D  E 
Take it from me: there's not much to see in this voooooooooid. 
 
Instrumental A, D (4x) 
 
verse 3 
 
The saying goes there will be other dances, 
This little song is about second chances, 
Just say the word and I will rejoice, 
And wake up to the sound of your voice, 
Oh, how I miss waking up to the sound, 
To the sound, 
To the sound, 
To the sound, 
Waking up to the sound of your voice. 
 
Instrumental A, D (x8) 
 
Bridge 
                                                 F#m  A  D  E  A 
Take it from me: there's not much to see in this voooooooooooooid.
