D G x4 


verse 1: 

  D                     G 
Remember coming home at four in the morning 
D                  G 
Before the sun was up 
D                        G 
Back when the east was a fire of gold 
     D                           G              D 
Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love 

   G 
Yeah 

    D                       G 
Our hope is just a metaphor, of something better 
    D                   G 
For all of our dreams tonight 
    D                       G                           D 
And fear is just a shadow of the things that matter the most 
                    G 
And I fear that I'm losing hope tonight 


Chorus: 

D 
Oh oh 
I feel like I'm dreaming 
Oh oh 
Staring up at the ceiling 
G 
Oh oh 
It's four in the morning 
I can't sleep and it feels like a warning 
D 
Oh oh 
You wouldn't believe me 
If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling 
G 
Oh oh 
The words that I wanted to say 
I feel them slipping away 


D G x4 


verse 2: 

  D  
Remember that kid with the quivering lip 
Whose heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit 
Where are you now? Where are you now? 

Remember that kid, didn't know when to quit 
I still lose my breath when I think about it 
Oh, where'd you go? 
    G 
(Oh where'd you go?) 


Chorus: 

D 
Oh oh 
I feel like I'm dreaming 
Oh oh 
Staring up at the ceiling 
G 
Oh oh 
It's four in the morning 
I can't sleep and it feels like a warning 
D 
Oh oh 
You wouldn't believe me 
If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling 
G 
Oh oh 
The words that I wanted to say 
I feel them slipping away 


Bridge: 

Bm                           D 
  I know this isn't what you wanted 
                              G 
Past words in the present are haunting us now 

And on and on and on and on 
Bm                                 D 
  My heartbeat could tell you it's urgent 
                       G 
I try to shout but the words don't come out 


Chorus: 

D 
Oh oh 
I feel like I'm dreaming 
Oh oh 
Staring up at the ceiling 
G 
Oh oh 
It's four in the morning 
I can't sleep and it feels like a warning 
D 
Oh oh 
You wouldn't believe me 
If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling 
G 
Oh oh 
The words that I wanted to say 
I feel them slipping away 


D G x8
