           G        D        Em      C

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh.

 

    G                                               - D

1.     Thought I'd never be waking         on the kitchen floor,

Em                     - C                     G

    but here I lie,        not the first time.

                                                  - D

    Now my morning has broken,         and it brings the fear,

Em

    my mind's falling, falling.

 

             C        D             Em

    Then I feel my pulse quickening,

            C          D                 Em

    but regrets can't change anything.

              C        D             Em

    Yeah, I feel my pulse quickening,

         C            D               Em

    when your name lights up the screen.

 

        G                     C   G      Em                            C            Am

Oh, joy, when you call me, I was giving up, oh, I was giving in !

  G                 C      G      Em                            C            Am

Joy, set my mind free, I was giving up, oh, I was giving in !

   G                                                   C 

How'd you always know when I'm down ?

  Em                                                 C

How'd you always know when I'm down ?

 

   G                                                          - D

2.    Take a walk through the wreckage,         clearing out my head,

Em                               - C                              G

   I hear your eyes roll,        right down the phone.

                                             - D

   I'm your walking disaster,         keep on dragging me,

Em                    - C

   from self-pity,         poor me.

 

             C        D              Em                 C                  D         Em

+  Then I feel my pulse quickening, but I wouldn't change a thing.

 

+  CHORUS

 

                Am                      C

+  As the night dissolves into this final frame,

                      Em                   D

    you're a sweet relief, you saved me from my brain.

                     Am                    C                       Em     - D

    From my brain, from my brain ! From my brain !

 

          Am       C       Em       D

How'd you always know when I'm down ?

How'd you always know when I'm down ?

 

  G                 - C                              - Em                - C

+    I feel joy,       when you call me ,        I feel joy,       I feel joy !

G                 - C                              - Em               - C
