[Verse 1]
A                    G
Waking up beside you brings 
a kind of refuge
         D            
It\'s the armor that I 
                 A
need to face the day
A                 G        
For a second I forgot that 
                 D
you were leaving soon
A
Then the armor falls away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A
This time there\'s no broken hearts
    Em7
And no one ran \'cause it got hard
     Bm7                      A
This missing you is temporary pain

                 Bm7             
If I was feeling nothing I would 
                      A
feel like something\'s wrong
                   A
I\'m grateful to be crying
                Em7
I\'m crying over you
                  Bm7          
I\'m lucky that we love so good 
                    D
it has to hurt this bad

I\'m happy to be sad

     A               Em7
Only me, myself, and all my thoughts
                      Bm7    
I thought that I would start 
                  A
to crumble in the lonely
                             A
(Start to crumble in the lo-)

But I\'ll get to know the momentary 
misery

Just to know somebody knows me

This time there\'s no hopeless nights

No losing sleep, no pointless fights

come back and hold me
