INTRO: C F Am F
VERSE
C F
Down to days, chased with night
Am F
Taste a dream, wash down my height
C F
Braid your hair, as we gather sand
Am F
'Til the little hand comes round again
Pre-Chorus
C
Oh no, I fear the quiet, it won't help to fight it
Am
Haven't heard a word of theirs, I think you lost me when you said:
[Refrão]
C F
I've been feeling so lonesome that I could cry
Am F
But I could be brave in your bed tonight
C F
I've been feeling so lonesome that I could cry
Am C
But I could be brave if I laid in your bed tonight
VERSE
Wind those gears, as the grey sets in
Remind me now, where we've been
Meet me there, beneath your skin
Wrapped in sheets, three to the wind
Pre-Chorus
Oh no, I fear the quiet, it won't help to fight it
Haven't heard a word of theirs, I think you lost me when you said:
[Refrão]
I've been feeling so lonesome that I could cry
But I could be brave in your bed tonight
I've been feeling so lonesome that I could cry
But I could be brave if I laid in your bed tonight
Instrumental
C Am (x2)
BRIDGE
C F
Wasted, still waking up, I'm in the thick of it
Am F
Too many locks are on doors, locks of yours on my floor
C F
Left wide open, get sucked in
Am
But I never said 'get up now'
F
Never said get up, let me hear you try
C
I wanna raise some hell
F
I wanna raise some hell
Am
I wanna shake some action
F
Wanna show and tell
C
Show and tell, show and tell
F
I pick myself right up
Am
You'll never hear me coming,
F
'cause I'm never gonna die
[Refrão]
I've been feeling so lonesome that I could cry
But I could be brave in your bed tonight
I've been feeling so lonesome that I could cry
But I could be brave if I laid in your bed tonight
