[Intro]
| C | C | C | C |

[Verse 1]
C              C/B                     Am7
Some are born to endless night
                  Am7/G                    F
I'd say my namesake got that right
            C/E                  Dm7
I wake up before the dawn
                   Gadd11 G  Gadd9   G
To start my dreaming  of         you
C                   C/B                  Am7
I don't know what I want to be
                   Am7/G                   F
The mirror just stares back at me
                       C/E                    Dm7
And now with time not on my side
                 Gadd11 G Gadd9 G
I know it's make or break

[Chorus]
            Am                 Am/G
It was fortune that I found you
            F                   C/E
Could exist and be around you
             Dm7                   G               G#dim
From a breakdown to a breakthrough
                Am              Am/G
No more doubt nor hesitation
              F                     C/E
Getting high on self-sedation
            Dm7     Gadd11 G
Living life in isolation

[Post-Chorus]
| C | Cmaj7 | C | Cmaj7 |

[Verse 2]
C                 C/B                  Am7
Now I don't know where I belong
                Am7/G                      F
But I can see you through the throng
               C/E                Dm7
If I could find a way to you
                       Gadd11   G        Gadd9   G
You know that I            would take       it
C               C/B                Am7
This life is hard, it isn't long
               Am7/G                F
And I so often get things wrong
                     C/E                      Dm7
If you would keep me in your heart
                      Gadd11 G Gadd9 G
You know I'd never break it
