verse 1
D
Now when you wake up
Am
Night's falling someone is by your side
D Am
Pull it together, darling you're not alone
D
But when you break up
Am
Sky's falling, no one is on your side
D Am
Spoon dirty laundry, darling you're all alone
D Am
And when you wake up, another sunrise
D Am
Another break up, this ship is capsized
D Am
And when you wake up, another sunrise
D Am
Another break up, this ship is capsized
D Am
Just keep your lamp on
