guitar chords lyrics
Intro:
D G x4
Verse 1:
D G
Remember coming home at four in the morning
D G
Before the sun was up
D G
Back when the east was a fire of gold
D G D
Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love
G
Yeah
D G
Our hope is just a metaphor, of something better
D G
For all of our dreams tonight
D G D
And fear is just a shadow of the things that matter the most
G
And I fear that I'm losing hope tonight
Chorus:
D
Oh oh
I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh oh
Staring up at the ceiling
G
Oh oh
It's four in the morning
I can't sleep and it feels like a warning
D
Oh oh
You wouldn't believe me
If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling
G
Oh oh
The words that I wanted to say
I feel them slipping away
D G x4
Verse 2:
D
Remember that kid with the quivering lip
Whose heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Remember that kid, didn't know when to quit
I still lose my breath when I think about it
Oh, where'd you go?
G
(Oh where'd you go?)
Chorus:
D
Oh oh
I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh oh
Staring up at the ceiling
G
Oh oh
It's four in the morning
I can't sleep and it feels like a warning
D
Oh oh
You wouldn't believe me
If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling
G
Oh oh
The words that I wanted to say
I feel them slipping away
Bridge:
Bm D
I know this isn't what you wanted
G
Past words in the present are haunting us now
And on and on and on and on
Bm D
My heartbeat could tell you it's urgent
G
I try to shout but the words don't come out
Chorus:
D
Oh oh
I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh oh
Staring up at the ceiling
G
Oh oh
It's four in the morning
I can't sleep and it feels like a warning
D
Oh oh
You wouldn't believe me
If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling
G
Oh oh
The words that I wanted to say
I feel them slipping away
D G x8
