  E  Emaj7          F#m   C#m  Amaj7 A
When you, when you forget your name
  E  Emaj7         F#m  C#m Amaj7 A
When old faces all look the same
F#m             A                B
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
F#m             A                   B
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up

Chorus:
   E             Asus4      A
If only I don't  bend and break
      F#m            B
I'll meet you on the other side
      G#m             A
I'll meet you in the light
   E            Asus4 A
If only I don't suffocate
      F#m             A                E
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

Bitter and hardened heart
Ah! Aching, waiting for life to start
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up

Chorus - x2

I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
If only I don't suffocate
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake
