               G 
Wake from a dream 
      D                  Am 
For a second I forget the past 
        C                           G 
But the truth always comes rushing back 
      D                       
Every promise that you said to me 
        Am  
¨I could tell from the start 
          C 
You were going down in history 

C                   G                   D 
In slow motion, I’m slipping back into night 
              C                G                       D 
It feels like I’m stuck playing, a game I can win this time 

C              G 
I just want to call you up 
    D                Am 
And say that I’m not giving up 
          C                       G 
¨If you’re lying in someone else’s arms 
                           D                    Am 
¨Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders 
                 C        G 
Just pick up the phone now 
                 C        G 
Just pick up the phone now 


              G 
But we can go back 
            D                        Am 
You used to tell me true love never lasts 
              C                       G 
We shine like diamonds in the broken glass 
             D                    
Words are forever dripping off our lips 
        Am 
Did you know in your heart 
       C 
It was always gonna come to this 


C                   G                   D 
In slow motion, I’m slipping back into night 
              C                G                       D 
It feels like I’m stuck playing, a game I can win this time 

C              G 
I just want to call you up 
    D                Am 
And say that I’m not giving up 
          C                       G 
¨If you’re lying in someone else’s arms 
                           D                    Am 
¨Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders 
                 C        G 
Just pick up the phone now 
                 C        G 
Just pick up the phone now 

C                    G                  D 
In slow motion, I’m slipping back into night 

And all that I want’ 

C               G 
I just want to call you up 
    D                Am 
To say that I’m not giving up 
          C                           G 
¨If you’re lying in someone else’s arms 
¨             
I’ll keep you safe from harm 
       D                      Am 
¨You’ll never have to be alone again 

                  C              G 
And all I want is I just want to call you up 
    D              Am 
And say I’m never giving up 
          C                          G 
If you’re lying in someone else’s arms 
                           D                       Am 
¨Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders 
              
             C         G
