Standard (EADGBE)

wake up in the middle of the night

 the air is so heavy my head's screwed on too tight

 and in the glow of the christmas lights i watch you sleep

the hands on the cigarette clock are just

time ticking away this love i've got

 there's no way to make it stop before you wake

i know you're leaving me

 this is not the way that i was brought up to believe that it would be

i know you're leaving me

 i'm running round in circles trying to figure out

just who i'm supposed to be

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

Repeat Chorus

i'm so tired of writing sad songs

but my mind's on misery

and i know there's time until you're gone

 but i can't let it be

 i can't let it be

Repeat Chorus
