A G#7
it’s okay in the day; i’m staying busy .
C#m C
tied up enough so i don’t have to wonder where is he .
Emaj7 C#m
got so sick of crying , so just lately;
C F#m F
when i catch myself , i do A 1 – 80 .

verse 2 :

A
i stay up clean the house;
G#7
at least i’m not drinking .
C#m C
run around just so i don’t have to think A – bout thinking .
Emaj7 C#m
that silent sense of content that everyone gets ,
C F#m F
just disappears soon as the sun sets .

bridge 1 :

D
this face in my dreams , seizes my guts;
G Gdim
he floods me with dread .
D G E7
soaked in soul , he swims in my eyes , by the bed .
D G Gdim
pour myself over him; moon spilling in ,
C Bm D#maj7
and i wake up A – lone .

A G#7
if i was my heart , i’d rather be restless .
C#m C
the second i stop , the sleep catches up and i’m breathless .
Emaj7 C#m
this ache in my chest , as my day is done now .
C F#m F
the dark covers me and i cannot run now .

verse 4 :

A G#7
my blood running cold; i stand before him .
C#m C
it’s all i can do to as – sure him .
Emaj7 C#m
when he comes to me , i drip for him tonight .
C F#m F
drowning in me , we bathe under blue light .

D
this face in my dreams , seizes my guts;
G Gdim
he floods me with dread .

soaked in soul , he swims in my eyes by the bed .
