capo 4th Fret
Em C
Your arms around me come undone
Makes my heart beat like a drum
See the panic in my eyes
Kiss me only when I cry
D C
Cause you always want what you're running from
And you know this is more than you can take
Em C
Baby don't forget my name
D
When the morning breaks us
Em C
Baby please don't look away
D
When the morning breaks us
Em C D
Oh your touch, so bittersweet, ah ah ah ah
Em C
Baby don't forget my name
D
When the morning breaks us
Em C
Your cheek kissed softly by the sun
Makes my heart beat like a drum
I know it hurts you, I know it burns you
Hot and cold in a lonely hotel room
Look into me, tell me why you're crying I need to know
D C
Cause you always want what you're running from
And it's always been that way, oh oh
Em C
Baby don't forget my name
D
When the morning breaks us
Em C
Baby please don't look away
D
When the morning breaks us
Em C D
Oh your touch, so bittersweet, ah ah ah ah
Em C
Baby don't forget my name
D
When the morning breaks us
D C
Cause you always want what you're running from
Em C
Baby don't forget my name
D
When the morning breaks us
Em C
Baby please don't look away
D
When the morning breaks us
Em C D
Oh your touch, so bittersweet, ah ah ah ah
Em C
Baby don't forget my name

When the morning breaks us
