A#m
When you wake up
               C#
Turn the radio on
                            F#
And you'll hear this simple song
              D#m
That I made up
That I made up for you
A#m
When you're driving
               C#
Turn the radio up
                         F#maj7
Cause I can't sing loud enough
               D#m
Hard these days
                   Fsus4 F
To get my message through

Chorus:
    C#     C#7 C#9 F#
If time is all I have
      G#              C#
I'll waste it all on you
     C#7      C#9      F#
Each day I'll turn it back
      G#                     A#m
It's what the broken-hearted do
                           G#
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
F#                   D#m
Of silences keeping me awake

When you marry
And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up, that it isn't me
When you're older
And the memories fade
I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live

Chorus

          C#      F#
Won't you say my name, one time
            C#      F#
Please just say my name

Chorus - x2

Won't you say my name
When the song is over
