(verse 1) 
      E                         C# 
It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume 
                    B 
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own 
    A 
I don't know if I'm home 
          E 
Or if I lost the way into your room 
      C# 
I'm spiraling into my doom 
      B                            A 
I'm feeling half alive but I know one day 
                   B 
You and I will be free, 
     C# 
To live and die by our own rules, 
 E 
Free.. 
   A 
Despite the fact that men are fools. 

 E           A                       C# 
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try 
     B 
And save me. 
      E                A 
It's okay that we're dying, 
                C#       B        A 
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

        E 
Well excuse me while I get killed softly, 
 C#                                B 
Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay 
    A 
At least 'til yesterday, 
              E 
You know you caught me off my highest guard, 
  C# 
Believe me when I say it's hard. 
       B 
We'll get through this tonight 
            A                         B 
And I know one day you and I will be free 
    C# 
To live and die by our own rules, 
  E 
Free.. 
  A 
Despite the fact that men are fools.

But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

B                               C# 
And you touch my hand ever so slightly 
Girl we're not ready for this yet 
B                                 A 
And the deadly look she cast upon me 
I won't regret, I won't regret 
   B        C#     B       A 
I won't regret. I won't regret... 

            E              B 
And I was trying to disappear, 
                           A 
But you got me wrapped around you 
I can hardly breathe without you 
          E            B 
I was trying to disappear 
                         A 
But I got lost in your eyes now, 
You brought me down to size now.
