[Verse 1]
A
I stare at the headlights 'til I get my head right
F#m
And the dogs stop their howls on the porch
My head is an ocean and I'm getting homesick
E
For a place I've never known
A
And I just keep laughing when I'm stuck in traffic
E F#m
At the metaphor I've become
[Refrain]
F#m
Maybe I'm restless, a manic, depressive
A
Or maybe I need someone
N.C.
Or maybe not
[Chorus]
A D
So please just give me something for the pain
F#m
'Cause my heart softens to your name
D
And when you're gone I come undone
A
And when you're gone how come I'm weak
D
And I walk wires and I pull teeth
F#m
And I'm so tired of chasing dreams
D
I need someone to wake me up
I need someone to wake me up
A F#M A E F#m
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
[Verse 2]
A
I remember the evening you showed me Cat Stevens
F#m
Now I fill the room up with "Father and Son"
D
Two minutes emotion, for I was frozen
A
By the fear and the boredom
Now I've run out of reasons to pick up your pieces
F#m
I just tried to recall what once was
[Refrain]
F#m
Maybe I'm desperate, a manic, depressive
A
Or maybe I need someone
Or maybe not
[Chorus]
A D
So please just give me something for the pain
F#m
'Cause my heart softens to your name
D
And when you're gone I come undone
A
And when you're gone how come I'm weak
D
And I walk wires and I pull teeth
F#m
And I'm so tired of chasing dreams
D
I need someone to wake me up
I need someone to wake me up
A Bm F#m D A Bm F#m D
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
[Bridge]
F#m
And I want you
A
Oh my god, I want you
D
To see me here this day
F#m
And I want you
C#m A
Fill your sleep and haunt you
D
To see the mess you've made
Dsus2 D
You've made
F#m
And I want you
A
And all my dreams are no use
D
When I am wide awake
F#m
And I want to
A D
Believe I haven't lost you
D
It's driving me insane
Dsus2 D
Insane
A Bm F#m D A Bm F#m D
[Chorus]
A D
So please just give me something for the pain
F#m
'Cause my heart softens to your name
D
And when you're gone I come undone
A
And when you're gone how come I'm weak
D
And I walk wires and I pull teeth
F#m
And I'm so tired of chasing dreams
D
I need someone to wake me up
I need someone to wake me up
A F#m
Oooh, oooh
