C#
Heaven help me
        C#
My mind changes like the wind
C#
Please excuse me
        C#
I don't know where to begin
    B
But I
               D#m
Didn't think I cared
                  C#
I could be your friend
But I'm unprepared
Oh, I've never felt like this
B
I was unaware
D#m
You were lighting flares
C#
Now I'm running scared
Oh, how did it come to this?

G#m            F#
You know I've never
        D#m          C#
Been so lonely on my own
       G#m
And it shows
               F#
'Cause I don't see you
       D#m
Like I used to
Now I'm going back on the things that I know

Chorus:
F#
Oh
       C#
All my nights
            B
Taste like gold
Yeah, when I'm with you
                      F#
It's like everything glows
           C#
And all my days
            B
We can lay low
                 D#m
Yeah, when we're waking up
      C#          B
We're waking up slow

I can rearrange
Would you do the same?
I don't wanna change
But you're just too good to miss
'Cause I'm intertwined
And I'm running blind
But I don't mind
I'm so glad it came to this

You know I've never
Been so lonely on my own
And it shows
'Cause I don't see you
Like I used to
Now I'm going back on the things that I know

Chorus

F#                         C#
It's a little bit clearer now
                               B
I love you like the sun came out
Oh
We're waking up
                 F#
We're waking up slow
                        C#
It's like I never had a doubt
                              B
I love you like the sun came out
Oh
     D#m
We're waking up
       C#
We're waking up


B
Like I told ya
Don't look backwards
D#m
'Cause now I see you here
F#
Nothing else matters
B
Like I told ya
Don't look backwards
D#m
'Cause now I see you here
I'm going back on the things that I know

Chorus:
Oh, all my nights
Taste like gold
Yeah, when I'm with you
It's like everything glows
And all my days we can lay low
Yeah, when we're waking up
We're waking up slow

It's a little bit clearer now
I love you like the sun came out
Oh, we're waking up
We're waking up slow
It's like I never had a doubt
I love you like the sun came out
Oh, we're waking up
We're waking up
