[Verse 1]

A             
Waking up beside you 
G
brings a kind of refuge
         D   
It\'s the armor that 
                   A
I 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
 
[Chorus]
                A
I\'m happy to be sad
                     Em7
I\'m sad that you are gone
                 Bm7  
If I was feeling nothing 

I would feel like 
            A
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
                A
I\'m happy to be sad

[Verse 2]
     A               Em7
Only me, myself, and all my thoughts
                      Bm7  
I thought that I would start to 
               A
crumble in the lonely
                             A
(Start to crumble in the lo-)
But I\'ll get to 
         Em7
know the momentary misery
Bm7                   A
Just to know somebody knows me
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A
This time there\'s no hopeless nights
   Em7
No losing sleep, no pointless fights
     Bm7              
Just missing you, 
                        A
\'til you come back and hold me
