 D
Here I am waiting
Dsus2
I'll have to leave soon
  D      Dsus2
Why am I holding on

We knew this day would come
We knew it all along
How did it come so fast

        D         G
This is our last night
          Bm
But it's late
          G             D
And I'm trying not to sleep
          G
Cause I know
       Bm
When I wake
        G
I will have to slip away


Chorus:
              D                   Bm
And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
       G                        D
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
              D                   Bm
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
       G                        D
But tonight I need to hold you so close

    D         Bm        G         D
Oh-wo-oh, oh-wo-oh, oh-wo-oh- ohohoh
    D         Bm        G         D
Oh-wo-oh, oh-wo-oh, oh-wo-oh- ohohoh

Here I am staring
At you're perfection
In my arms
So beautiful

The sky is getting bright
The stars are burning out
Somebody
Slow it down

This is way too hard
Cause I know
When the sun comes up
I will leave
This is my last glance
That will soon be memory

Chorus

A
I never wanted to stop
Bm
Because I don't want to
  G               D
Start all over, Start all over
A
I was afraid of the dark
Bm
But now it's all that I want
G
All that I want, All that I want

Chorus - x2
