C                        Am
The nights are getting shorter
C                        Am F
I don't know where they go
C            Am
I am getting older
C                     Am
And it's starting to show
    F                     C
And ever since I left my mother
                     Am
It's much harder to know
                    C
How to make my own life here
                    Am
How to make my own home

Chorus:
F                      C
I don't wanna wake up lonely
                       Am
I don't wanna just be fine
                       C
I don't wanna keep on hoping
                      Am
Forget what I had in mind
F                      C
I don't wanna wake up lonely
                       Am
I don't wanna just be fine
                       C
I don't wanna keep on hoping
                      Am
Forget what I had in mind
    F                 C
Forget what I had in mind

I remember the time when a kiss on
the hand was enough
'Cause we knew we were free
And we knew what it meant to be loved
But ever since I left my father
It’s much harder to know
How to live my own life here
When all I need is home

Chorus

Am                    G
These faces start to fade
C                            Em
They're slipping through my hands
Am                       G
It's where my heart was made
C
And my feet will always land

Chorus

I don’t want to wake up lonely
