[Verse 1]
CGo to sleep, nothing's cFhaFmaj7nging
DI'll be right here by your sCide
CBreak the teens, colours fadFing
DIn the stillness of the nigCht
You're tChick-skinned, but it seems
You're Fhiding in daydreams
DCan't find our way to the lCight
CAnd when this routine ends, through nFmaj7ights and weeFkends
DWe'll see daylight through the bliCnds
AmDrifting in a cGold state, the glowing cracks of Fmaj7old days
Bodies slack and prCessed beneath the hour in your eyesAm  
Fingernails and cGold skin, your parent's bed we lFay in
Arms outstretched to emptGiness; the space you've left behind
[Interlude]
C F D C F D
[Chorus]
CGo to sleep, nothing's chaFnging
DmI'll be right here by your sCide
CTear the seams, we're not Fmaj7aging
DmBeneath these trembling star-lit skCies
CYou're thick-skinned, but you know
It's beFyond our control
DmShadows gleaming in our eCyes
CBeen living a past dear, be frFee from those dull years
DmAnd we'll see dayDlight through the blCinds
AmDrifting in a cGold state, the glowing cracks of Fold days
Bodies slack and prCessed beneath the hour in your eyesAm  
Fingernails and cGold skin, your parent's bed we lFay in
Arms outstretched to emptGiness; the space you've left behind

[Verse 1]

C F Fmaj7

Go to sleep, nothing's changing

D C

I'll be right here by your side

C F

Break the teens, colours fading

D C

In the stillness of the night

You're thick-skinned, but it seems

You're hiding in daydreams

D C

Can't find our way to the light

C Fmaj7 F

And when this routine ends, through nights and weekends

D C

We'll see daylight through the blinds

Am G Fmaj7

Drifting in a cold state, the glowing cracks of old days

C Am

Bodies slack and pressed beneath the hour in your eyes

G F

Fingernails and cold skin, your parent's bed we lay in

Arms outstretched to emptiness; the space you've left behind

[Interlude]

C F D C F D

[Chorus]

C F

Go to sleep, nothing's changing

Dm C

I'll be right here by your side

C Fmaj7

Tear the seams, we're not aging

Dm C

Beneath these trembling star-lit skies

You're thick-skinned, but you know

It's beyond our control

Dm C

Shadows gleaming in our eyes

C F

Been living a past dear, be free from those dull years

Dm D C

And we'll see daylight through the blinds

Am G F

Drifting in a cold state, the glowing cracks of old days

C Am

Bodies slack and pressed beneath the hour in your eyes

G F

Fingernails and cold skin, your parent's bed we lay in

Arms outstretched to emptiness; the space you've left behind
