You didn't wake up this morning cause you didn't go to bed
D F
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
C Am D F
The calendar on your wall is ticking the days off
C Am
You've been reading some old letters,
D F
You smile and you think how much you've changed,
C Am
all the money in the world
D F
couldn't bring back those days

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,
C E F D
You watch a plane flying, across a clear blue sky

You could've done anything, if you'd wanted
C Am D F
And all your friends and family think that you're lucky,

But the side of you they'll never see

Is when you're left alone with the memories
C Am D F
That hold your life together, together like glue
