Tom : A
A G#m F#m E
[Verse 1]
A G#m F#m
Thought I'd never be waking on the kitchen floor
E A
But here I lie, not the first time
G#m F#m
Now my morning has broken, and it brings the fear
E
My mind's falling, falling
[Pre-Chrous]
D E F#m
Then I feel my pulse quickening
D E F#m
But regrets can't change anything
D E F#m
Yeah, I feel my pulse quickening
D E F#m
When your name lights up the screen
[Chorus]
A D F#m
Oh joy, when you call me
D E
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
A D F#m
Joy, set my mind free
D E
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
[Post-Chorus]
A D F#m
How'd you always know when I'm down?
A D
How'd you always know when I'm down?
[Verse 2]
A G#m F#m
Take a walk through the wreckage, clearing out my head
E A
I hear your eyes roll right down the phone
G#m F#m
I'm your walking disaster, keep on dragging me
E
From self-pity, poor me
[Pre-Chrous]
D E F#m
Then I feel my pulse quickening
D E F#m
But I wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Bm D
As the night dissolves into this final frame
F#m E
You're a sweet relief, you saved me from my brain
Bm D F#m E
From my brain, from my brain, from my brain
Bm D F#m E
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
[Outro]
A D F#m
I feel joy when you call me
A D F#m
I feel joy when you call me (I-I-I feel joy)
A D F#m
I feel joy when you call me
A D F#m
I feel joy when you call me
A D F#m
How'd you always know when I'm down?
A D
How'd you always know when I'm down?
