E               B/D# 
Daybreak, I can't hide the truth 
Aadd9/C#          Am/C 
It seems I'm not so strong 
      E                     B/D# 
And suddenly, there's no more to lose 
Aadd9/C#        Am/C 
So where did I go wrong 
 
  G#m7         C#madd9     A 
I should have known before 
      B                E 
Her love for me was gone 
 
 
            B/D# 
Now I'm waiting for the light 
Aadd9/C#           Am/C 
To fill this empty room 
  E                     B/D# 
I need you now to break thru the night 
Aadd9/C#                Am/C 
Whose shadows came too soon 
 
  G#m7  C#madd9  A      G# 
I waited far too long and now 
         C#madd9   Amadd9/C 
I feel I can't go on 
E            Em  E          Em 
Daybreak, oh  daybreak 
B 
I let her walk away 
C#m                           B/D# 
I should have said, don't go 
                           Am                      Am/F# 
I know I should have found another way 
         G#m7       C#madd9  A6 
Now I don't know what to do 
     Badd9               E                 B/D#  Aadd9/C#  Am/C 
So daybreak, please break through 
E               B/D# 
Daybreak, I feel so alone 
Aadd9/C#             Am/C 
Why won't you come to stay 
 
 
  G#m7  C#madd9  A      G# 
I waited far     too long and now 
  C#madd9       Am  Am/F# 
I feel I can't go on 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
(Ending) E - G6 - E - G6 - E9M
