B                      D#m
I've waited hours for this
B                   C#m
I've made myself so sick
G#m                 F#        E
I wish I'd stayed asleep today

I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
this close to me

Just try to see in the dark
just try to make it work
to feel the fear before you're here

B                       D#m  B
I make the shapes come much too close
           C#m
I pull my eyes out
        G#m        A#m          F#   E
hold my breath and wait until I shake...

Chorus:
    E
But if I had your faith
                                B   D#m
then I could make it safe and clean
E
If only I was sure
                                 B   D#m
that my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today

I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
