 CIt's 6AM, I'm shivAmering beneath the bed sheets
DmThe pillowcase fell off last night when I
 hFmaj7eld it in my arms.
 I Cread                     Am
Short stories, while you twitched in your sleep beside me,
Dmyour                        Fmaj7
Breath it fell so heavy, as I sat there in the dark
And Dmoh you whispered quiet, making fFmaj7riends beneath the
Scenery of a Csun cracked open sky beneath 
the dEmark lids           Dm
Of your eyes. You were skipping stones and I was still alone
When Fmaj7I   turned off the light, scribbling 
onto stCicky notes
    G/Em
I am scared and that's the best that I can say
CI work a job to pay the Amdebt I owe my family,
 Dmto pay back for
That one time    Fmaj7I pushed your chinC. All this hope I hold
 just Amburies                         Dm
Its evil in me out of sight, but it slips through a hole
In my side I've seen aFmaj7nother of me and you
CSo we'll climb in that Buick dowAmn 222, and I'll
Close my eyesDm, the sun goes down each time
 I Fmaj7see the light
I swear it's true.    CBecause I've loved 
down with this crown watching
AmOld dogs age without whimpering, Dmand I find it hard to say that
Fmaj7I am strong
CBut I'll be sure with each passing Ambreath to read you
Stories that are glimmering   Dmwith the light that reflected    
                                (let ring)                                   Fmaj7
Off these marigolds that caught my neck when I hit
The ground
And Dmoh you whispered quiet, making Fmaj7friends beneath the
Scenery of a Csun cracked open sky beneath
 the Emdark lids
Of your eyes.
 You were sDmkipping stones and I was still alone
When I    Fmaj7turned off the light, scribbling
 onto Csticky notes
I am sEmcared and that's the best that I can say
     (start quietly, then pick up towords the 3rd or 4th repetition 
CAll we are is all wAme are and still I will become,
 Emall I am and all
I tFmaj7hought I can't recall because (X6)
DmAnd oh you whispered quiet, making Fmaj7friends beneath the
Scenery of a Csun cracked open sky beneath 
the Emdark lids
Of your eyes.
 You were Cskipping stones and I was still alone
When I    Fmaj7turned off the light, scribbling
 onto Csticky notes
I am Emscared and that's the best that I can say
CI'm still tugging on youAmr hand, like when I was innocent
Fmaj7We used to only lie when we needed sleep
(End on Fmaj7)

Fmaj7

C Am

It's 6AM, I'm shivering beneath the bed sheets

The pillowcase fell off last night when I

Fmaj7

held it in my arms.

I read Am

Short stories, while you twitched in your sleep beside me,

your Fmaj7

Breath it fell so heavy, as I sat there in the dark

Dm Fmaj7

And oh you whispered quiet, making friends beneath the

Scenery of a sun cracked open sky beneath

the dark lids Dm

Of your eyes. You were skipping stones and I was still alone

Fmaj7

When I turned off the light, scribbling

onto sticky notes

G/Em

I am scared and that's the best that I can say

C Am

I work a job to pay the debt I owe my family,

to pay back for

Fmaj7 C

That one time I pushed your chin. All this hope I hold

just buries Dm

Its evil in me out of sight, but it slips through a hole

Fmaj7

In my side I've seen another of me and you

C Am

So we'll climb in that Buick down 222, and I'll

Close my eyes, the sun goes down each time

Fmaj7

I see the light

I swear it's true. Because I've loved

down with this crown watching

Am Dm

Old dogs age without whimpering, and I find it hard to say that

Fmaj7

I am strong

C Am

But I'll be sure with each passing breath to read you

Stories that are glimmering with the light that reflected

(let ring) Fmaj7

Off these marigolds that caught my neck when I hit

The ground

Dm Fmaj7

And oh you whispered quiet, making friends beneath the

Scenery of a sun cracked open sky beneath

the dark lids

Of your eyes.

You were skipping stones and I was still alone

Fmaj7

When I turned off the light, scribbling

onto sticky notes

I am scared and that's the best that I can say

(start quietly, then pick up towords the 3rd or 4th repetition

C Am

All we are is all we are and still I will become,

all I am and all

Fmaj7

I thought I can't recall because (X6)

Dm Fmaj7

And oh you whispered quiet, making friends beneath the

Scenery of a sun cracked open sky beneath

the dark lids

Of your eyes.

You were skipping stones and I was still alone

Fmaj7

When I turned off the light, scribbling

onto sticky notes

I am scared and that's the best that I can say

C Am

I'm still tugging on your hand, like when I was innocent

Fmaj7

We used to only lie when we needed sleep

(End on Fmaj7)
