[Verse 2]
G G/F# G G/F#
In a room where light hides behind the curtains

In a bed where you're lost in a dream

In a time the world is full of darkness
Em C D
In a house that doesn't suit quieter than these
[Pre-Chorus 1]

We know you're there

somewhere inside

I say a prayer for you to smile

Till I see the old days

Open your eyes and say hello
D C
Open your mind and just let go

Tell me to get the remote

So we can watch your favourite show

And tell me just how much I've grown
D G
And let me know I'm not alone

I remember how you'd come around and see us
G G/F# G G/F#
And you'd always have the same cup for your tea

Oh that cup sits on the shelf now
Em C D
Waiting for the day you come back to me oh
