[F][Am]

[Verse 1]
Ever [Am]since
I was [A]young [G]your word is the word tha[C]t always won.
Worry and wake the ones you [F]love.
[Am]A phone call I'd rather not receive.
[G]Please use my body whi[C]le I sleep.

[Verse 2]
My lungs are [C]fresh and yours to keep,
[F]Kept clean and they will let you bre[Em]athe.
Is this [G]the way a [Em]toy feels when
its [Am]batteries [A]run[Am] dry?[Em]
I [G]am the watch you al[Em]ways wear but
[Am]you [A]forget to wind.

[Verse 3]
[Em]Nobody plans to be half [G]a world
[C]away at times like these,
So I [Em]sat alone and
[D]waited out the [Am]night.
The best [Em]part of what has [G]happened
was the [C]part I must have missed.
So I'm [Em]asking you [D]to shine
it on and [A]stick [Am]around.
I'm not [A]writing [D]my good[A]byes.
I submit [Am]no excu[A]se.[G]

[Verse 4]
If this is [G]what I [C]have to do I owe
you every day I [F]wake.
[Am]If I could I would shrink myself
[G]and sink through your skin
[C]To your blood cells and remove
whatever makes you [Am]hurt
[F]But I am too weak to be your cure.
[Em]

[Verse 5]
Is this [G]the way a [Em]toy feels when
its [A]batteries [Am]run [Em]dry?
I [G]am the watch [Em]you always
wear [A]but you forget to [Em]wind.
Nobody plans to be [G]half a world
[C]away at times like these,
So I [Em]sat alone and w[D]aited
out the night.
[Am]

[Verse 6]
[A]
[Am]The best p[Em]art of what has happen[G]ed
was the [C]part I must have missed.
So I'm [Em]asking you [D]to shine
it on and [A]stick [Am]around.
I'm not [A]writing [D]my [A]good[G]byes.
I'm not [Em]letting you check [F]out.
[Am][A]

[G][D][F][C][Am]

[Verse 7]
[G]You [C]wil[Em]l bea[F]t [Am]this [C]start[G]ing[D][F][C][Em]
[G]now and [C]you [Em]will[D] alw[A]ay[Em]s
be around.
[G]I'm [C]there to mon[Em] itor your bre[D]athing
[A]I will w[Em]atch you while you're sleeping.
[G]I will keep you safe a[C]nd sound.

[Verse 8]
Does [C]anybody remember [Em]back
when you were very [D]young?
Did you ever [A]think that you
would be this blessed?
