Chorus:
 G                    Em
Hours in the dead of night
Bm                 A
I've been there before
G          Em
Medicating works sometimes
           Bm                A
I'm just trying to lose my train of thought
G                  Em
Only ever feeling fine
           Bm             A
And I'd prefer us to be close
     G                      Em
I'd like to look you in the eyes
               Bm                    A       D
Not fearing, staring into the void, waiting for
    G  Em  Bm
replies
      A       D      G  Em Bm F#m
Just waiting for replies.

 G                   D
I've been trying to reach your mind
     Bm               A
By stripping all the poems
 G                  D
I've been watching dandelions
  Bm             A
Growing by the grove
     G
And it's a shame
          Em                      Bm        A
Because I only came here for the love of you
      G
Yeah, it's a shame
          A                       Bm        D
Because I only came here for the love of you

Chorus:
Hours in the dead of night
I've been there before
Medicating works sometimes
I'm just trying to lose repeated thoughts
Are you over there feeling fine?
(Hours in the dead of night)
Oh, I'd prefer it if we spoke
(I've been there before)
I'd like to look you in the eyes
Not three AM staring into the void,
waiting for replies
Just waiting for replies

  G                 Em
I only came here to tell the truth
     Bm                  A
Have one small glass of red, then, shoot home
G                 Em
Only came here to tell the truth
     Bm                  A
Have one small glass of red, then, shoot home

Chorus:
Hours in the dead of night
(Only came here to tell the truth)
I've been there before
(Have one small glass of red then shoot home)
Medicating works sometimes
(Only came here to tell the truth)
I'm just trying to lose my train of thought
(Have one small glass of red then shoot home)
Only ever feeling fine
(Hours in the dead of night)
And I'd prefer us to be close
(I've been there before)
I'd like to look you in the eyes
Not fearing, staring into the void,
waiting for replies
Just waiting for replies
