 thankyou
 It's four  AM, I'm waking up to your  perfume
 Don't get up, I'll get  through on my own
 I don't  know if I'm home
 Or if I lost  the way into your room
 I'm spiraling  into my doom
 I'm feeling  half alive but I know one  day
 You and I will be free,
 To live  and die by our own rules,
 Free..
 Despite  the fact that men are fools.
 I'm  almost alive,  and I need you to try
 And save  me.
 It's okay  that we're dying,
 But I need to survive  tonight,  tonight.
 Well excuse  me while I get killed softly,
 Heart  slows down and I can hardly tell  you I'm okay
 At least  'til yesterday,
 You know you caught  me off my highest guard,
 Believe  me when I say it's hard.
 We'll get  through this tonight
 And I know one  day you and I will be free
 To live  and die by our own rules,
 Free..
 Despite  the fact that men are fools.
 I'm  almost alive,  and I need you to try
 And save  me.
 It's okay  that we're dying,
 But I need to survive  tonight,  tonight.
And  you touch my hand ever so slightly
 Girl we're not ready for this yet
And  the deadly look she cast upon me
 I won't regret, I won't regret
 I won't  regret.  I won't  regret...
 And I was trying  to disappear,
 But you got me wrapped around  you
 I can hardly breathe without you
 I was trying  to disappear
 But I got lost in your eyes  now,
 You brought me down to size now.

It's f[E]our AM, I'm waking up to y[C#]our perfume
Don't get up, I'll g[B]et through on my own
I do[A]n't know if I'm home
Or if I lo[E]st the way into your room
I'm sp[C#]iraling into my doom
I'm fe[B]eling half alive but I know o[A]ne day
You and I will be f[B]ree,
To li[C#]ve and die by our own rules,
F[E]ree..
Des[A]pite the fact that men are fools.

I[E]'m almost al[A]ive, and I need you to t[C#]ry
And s[B]ave me.
It's o[E]kay that we're dy[A]ing,
But I need to su[C#]rvive ton[B]ight, ton[A]ight.

[E] [C#] [B] [A]

Well exc[E]use me while I get killed softly,
H[C#]eart slows down and I can hardly t[B]ell you I'm okay
At l[A]east 'til yesterday,
You know you c[E]aught me off my highest guard,
Be[C#]lieve me when I say it's hard.
We'll g[B]et through this tonight
And I know o[A]ne day you and I will be f[B]ree
To l[C#]ive and die by our own rules,
Fr[E]ee..
De[A]spite the fact that men are fools.

I[E]'m almost al[A]ive, and I need you to t[C#]ry
And s[B]ave me.
It's o[E]kay that we're dy[A]ing,
But I need to su[C#]rvive ton[B]ight, ton[A]ight.

[B]And you touch my hand ever so sl[C#]ightly
Girl we're not ready for this yet
[B]And the deadly look she cast upon [A]me
I won't regret, I won't regret
I w[B]on't regr[C#]et. I w[B]on't reg[A]ret...

And I was tr[E]ying to disappe[B]ar,
But you got me wrapped arou[A]nd you
I can hardly breathe without you
I was tryi[E]ng to disappe[B]ar
But I got lost in your ey[A]es now,
You brought me down to size now.
