[Verse 1]
When I Amwake in the Gnight I'm Freaching for Cyou
There's a Amplace in my Gdreams where you're Fstill in the Croom
And you're Fnext to Gme somAmehow
There are Amtimes when I Gsleep on yoFur side of the Cbed
Now since Amyou've been Gaway it's as Fclose as I Cget
Oh well, FI should've Glearned by Amnow
[Pre-chorus]
FMorning light
FEvery now and then I start to Gfeel alright
Days are going Amby, I know I'll Fheal in time
Never Amthought I'd be Cscared of the Gdark
[Chorus]
Now I only feel it when the Flights go down
Feel it when the Amlights go down
 GOnly get that feeling when the Fnight rolls round
Feel it when the Amnight rolls arouGnd
[Verse 2]
There are Amtimes I get Gdrunk when I'm Fall by mysCelf
Cause it Amhelps me forGget you're with Fsomebody eClse
Well, it Fdon't really Gwork that Amwell
And the Amother Gnight I Fwalked by your pClace
AmHoping by Gchance that I Fmight see your Cface
Oh now Fwhy did I Gthink Amthat would help
[Pre-chorus]
FMorning light
FEvery now and then I start to Gfeel alright
Days are going Amby, I know I'll Fheal in time
Never Amthought I'd be Cscared of the Gdark
[Chorus]
  GNow I only feel it when the Flights go down
Feel it when the Amlights go down
 GOnly get that feeling when the Fnight rolls round
Feel it when the nAmight rolls arouGnd
Now I only feel it when the Flights go down
Feel it when the Amlights go down
 GOnly get that feeling when the Fnight rolls round
Feel it when the nAmight rolls arouGnd
[Bridge]
FI'll pray for light
Four in the morning I don't Gfeel alright
Nights are growing Amlong, I hope I Fheal in time
Never Amthought I'd be Cscared of the Gdark
[Chorus]
  GNow I only feel it when the Flights go down
Feel it when the Amlights go down
 GOnly get that feeling when the Fnight rolls round
Feel it when the nAmight rolls arouGnd
GOh I only feel it when the Flights go down
Feel it when the Amlights go down
 GOnly get that feeling when the Fnight rolls round
Feel it when the nAmight rolls arouGnd
  GNow I only feel it when the Flights go down
Feel it when the Amlights go down
 GOnly get that feeling when the Fnight rolls round
Feel it when the nAmight rolls arouGnd
[Outro]
When I Amwake in the Gnight I'm reFaching for you
