G (run 1)


G (run 1)            C
I will rise up early
G (run 1)               C
and dress myself up nice
G (run 2)                 C
and I will leave the house
Bm                      C
and check the deadlock twice.

G (run 1)               C
and I will find a crowd
G (run 1)                 C
and blend in for a minute
G (run 1)              C
and I will try to find
Bm                     C
a little comfort in it.


                 G
and I will get lonely
              Em7
and gasp for air.
      G 
and send your name up from my lips
Em7
like a signal flare.

G (run 2)              C


G (run 1)              C
and I will go downtown,
G (run 1)                    C
stand in the shadows of the buildings
G (run 1)            C
and button up my coat,
Bm              G     Bm             D
trying to stay strong, spirit willing.


G (run 1)                 C
and I will come back home,
G (run 1)                C
maybe call some friends,
G (run 1)                 C
maybe paint some pictures,
Bm       C
it all depends.

                 G
and I will get lonely
                 Em7
and gasp for air.
     G
and look up at the high windows,
Em7
and see your face up there.
