B
Cold light wakes me in the morning
B                                         E
Your side is empty, I was calling out to you
                      B
I was calling out to you

B
There's broken bottles around me on the floor
B                                                      E
There's broken bottles around me like a technicoloured hue
                      B
Like a technicoloured hue

    G#m              F#
You left your number on my bed
         B                        E
Saying this is all that you gotta do
         G#m                   F#
But it's not my fault that my phone went dead
             B                      C#m7
Oh, I would do it again, I'd do it again

Chorus:
E               G#m                   F#
And all of the nights and all of the days
              G#m            F#    E
Yeah, we're watching them fading away
               G#m                           F#
And oh, what a life when you're rolling the dice
         G#m       F#         E
When I'm gambling all of the time
But I don't need your love

I just need you talking next to me when I wake up, wake up
Talking next to me when I wake up next to you
When I’m hungover too
Because you’re the only one who comes when I’m lonely
You’re the only one who comes when I’m lonely for you
When I’m lonely for you

All that I need is
A sweet escape
And all that I need is
A sweet escape

Chorus:
And all of the nights and all of the days
Yeah we’re watching them fading away
And oh what a life when you’re rolling the dice
When I’m gambling all of the time

Oh, I just need your
G#m          F#
Oh oh oh oh oh
                   E  B
Well, I'm leaving now
    G#m          F#
And oh oh oh oh oh
             E  B
I'm leaving now
    G#m          F#
And oh oh oh oh oh
             E  B
I'm leaving now
    G#m         B/D#
And oh oh oh oh oh
             E  B
I'm leaving now

Chorus:
And all of the nights and all of the days
Yeah we’re watching them fading away
And oh what a life when you’re rolling the dice
When you’re gambling all of the time
Well all of the nights and all of the days
Yeah we’re watching them fading away
And oh what a life when you’re rolling the dice
When I’m gambling all of the time
Because I don’t need your love
I just need you now
And I don’t need your love
I just need you now
