[Verse 1]
D G
      Bm         A            D             G Bm
I can hear you pacing up and down the stairs
A            D G
Nobody cares
          Bm        A                D           G
What you did last winter, you were young and naive
                Bm           A
I've got some tricks up my sleeve
               D                      G
I'll make him forget, I'll make him regret
      D               A
Everything that he's done
              D                     G                     D         A
'Cause after today he won't have a way for your name to leave his tongue
              D                    G
I promise to you, I'm sticking it out
               D       A
I'm always an earshot away
                 D           G       A
But why on that day did you fade to gray?

(To gray)


[Chorus]
  F#m        G          Bm         A
I wake up at 3 just to fall back asleep
      F#m         G              Bm       A         D
And I try not to blurt out the secrets I keep from you
            G             Bm                  A
And do you promise not to let me get carried away?
           D           G          A
I've been looking for reasons to stay

(To stay)


[Post-Chorus]
     D
Yeah!

[Verse 2]
D G
                   Bm    A          D     G   Bm
I don't need you telling me what it is I need
A           D G
Nobody sees
        Bm         A         D              G        Bm        A
What I look like when I lie awake 'til the sun rises up before me
     D           G               D              A
And I've got to go, I've got to find something new
              D             G                D              A
I've got a shining bright future, and it's waiting without you
    D        G        D        A
I'm standing up on my own two feet
         F#m            G               A
And I'm moving to the rhythm of my own beat


[Chorus]
  F#m        G          Bm         A
I wake up at 3 just to fall back asleep
      F#m         G              Bm       A         D
And I try not to blurt out the secrets I keep from you
            G             Bm                  A
And do you promise not to let me get carried away?
           D           G          A
I've been looking for reasons to stay


[Bridge]
              D    G D
Why don't you stay
    A           F#m G A
As long as you need?
                  D     G D
I'm begging you to stay
       A           F#m G A
You've got what I need


[Chorus]
  F#m        G          Bm         A
I wake up at 3 just to fall back asleep
      F#m         G              Bm       A         D
And I try not to blurt out the secrets I keep from you
            G             Bm                  A
And do you promise not to let me get carried away?
           D           G          A
I've been looking for reasons to stay
              D    G D
Why don't you stay (I wake up at 3 just to fall back asleep)
    A           F#m G A
As long as you need?(And I try not to blurt out the secrets I keep from you)
              D    G D
I'm begging you to stay (Do you promise not to let me get carried away?)
    A           F#m G A
You've got what I need(I've been looking for reasons to stay)
                  D G
I'm begging you to
