B G#m F#
B G#m F#
[Verso 1] B
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
G#m
I wish I'd stayed
F#
Asleep today
B
I never thought this day would end
G#m
I never thought tonight could ever be
F#
This close to me
[Verso 2]B
Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
G#m F#
To feel the fear before you're here
B
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
G#m F#
Hold my breath and wait until I shake
[Ponte]E
But if I had your faith
B
Then I could make it safe and clean
E
If only I was sure
B
That my head on the door was a dream
( B G#m F# )
( B G#m F# )

I wish I'd stayed asleep today
B
I never thought this day would end
G#m

This close to me
[Ponte] E
But if I had your face

Then I could make it safe and clean

If only I was sure that my head

On the door was a dream
