[Intro]
C C C C
[Verse]
C
I don't want someone forever
G C
I just need someone to help me through the night
C
I don't want someone to love me
G C
I just need someone to hold me good and tight
[Chorus]
C
I don't wanna wake up
C7 F
And have to face the morning all alone
G
Heaven knows it's over
C C
And it's my first night away from home
[Verse]
C G
Leaving wasn't easy just the hardest
C
Thing I think I'll ever did
G
I tried to understand and just look over
C
All the crazy things he said
[Chorus]
C
And I need someone to wake up
C7 F
The feeling that I just can't feel at all
G
Heaven knows it's over
C C
And it's my first night away from home
[Bridge]
C
I gave up that old familiar feeling
C7 F
For the stranger who is lying in my bed
G
Now as he holds me in his arms
C C
I remember things my baby had to say
[Chorus]
C
And I believe I love you
C7 F
And have a different feeling from now on
G
And heaven knows it's over
C
And it's my first night away from home
G
Heaven knows it's over
C
And it's my first night away from home
