verse 1 
       C    Fmaj7            G6       Fmaj7 
I was awake,     you were asleep 
        C         Fmaj7           G6      Fmaj7 
I had a nightmare,     you had a dream 
      C                 Fmaj7            
And I couldn't find the lightswitch 
      G6                 Fmaj7 
But I think that I could see 
            C Fmaj7 G6 Fmaj7 
You were in love 


verse 2 
         C    Fmaj7          G6      Fmaj7 
Over the moon,    under the stars 
          C      Fmaj7         G6    Fmaj7 
Falling together,    falling apart 
      C                 Fmaj7             
And I couldn't find the right words 
      G6          Fmaj7 
But I felt in the heart, 
         C Fmaj7 G6 Fmaj7 
I was in love 


Pre-Chorus

And everyone was staring at me

And everyone was staring at me

verse 3 
       C     Fmaj7        G6       Fmaj7 
Under attack,    misunderstood 
             C         Fmaj7             
You were the bad guy 
             G6        Fmaj7 
And I was no good 
       C             Fmaj7               G6              Fmaj7 
But we fell asleep together (which they say you never should) 
               C Fmaj7 G6 Fmaj7 
And we were in love 


Pre-Chorus 
C 
And everyone was staring at me 

And everyone was staring at me
