[Intro]
C#m E A Ab F#m E F#m A
(uses verse 1 chords)
[Verse 1]
C#m
We were never well-acquainted
E
And everyone you knew was a state behind you
A Ab
Left to wonder where you went and why
F#m E
But did it come as a surprise
F#m A
That our voices carried further in your mind
C#m
than you would ever recognize
C#m
We were on a first name basis,
E
you were never good with names or faces
A Ab
I hate to think we never crossed your mind
F#m E
But is it any question why?
F#m A
In the end I couldn't stand the thought of you
[Chorus]
E A
Laying in bed, staring at the Sun
E A
Laying in bed, staring at the Sun
E A
Laying in bed, staring at the Sun
E A
Laying in bed, staring at the Sun
[Verse 2]
C#m
We followed you across the nation,
E
just another page in the compilation
A Ab
But I was never there to disagree
F#m E A Ab
But is it any mystery that you'd still be haunting me?
F#m E
And am I better now to know your history?
F#m
Or could I ever been the one to hold your hand
A
And whisper to you while you were
[Chorus]
E A
Laying in bed, staring at the Sun
E A
Laying in bed, staring at the Sun
E A
Laying in bed, staring at the Sun
E A
Laying in bed, staring at the Sun
[Bridge]
D C#m F#m E Ab C#m D D C#m C#m D D A A
[Chorus]

Laying in bed, staring at the Sun
E A
Laying in bed, staring at the Sun

Laying in bed, staring at the Sun

Laying in bed, staring at the Sun
