D   D/C#     Bm  D   D/C#        Bm
I'm halfway gone, sleepless I'm battle-worn
G             A   G              A
You're all I want, bring me the dawn

Chorus:
G           D                    A           Bm
I need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
             G       D           A
I'm shaking, all my luck could change
G            D                       A              Bm
Been in the dark for weeks and I've realized you're all I need
   G             D       A       G        D       A
I hope that I'm not too late, I hope I'm not too late

Back of the room
How come my friends already know you?
I feel like a kid
Too shy to speak up so I keep it hid
Oh, butterflies
You steal my sleep each night


Chorus
G        Bm    A
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh

I need the sun to break
You've woken up my heart, I'm shaking, oh
My luck could change
Been in the dark for weeks
And I've realized you're all I need, I hope
That I'm not too late
And I hope I'm not too late
Oh no, yes I'm hope I'm not too late

G        Bm    A
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
G        Bm    A
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
G        Bm    A
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
G        Bm    A
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
