Lyrics

I’ve been sleep ing with the (Dm)lights on

’cause the dark ness is sur (F)round ing you.

This is my world, this is (Dm)my choice

and you’re the drug that gets me (F)through.

I’ve been wait ing for an (Dm)an swer

be cause I built this bed for (F)two.

I’m just hang ing on your (Dm)an swer.

I’ve built this bed for me and (F)you.

(C)Can’t you see

that (Am)I

am (F)yours?

So (C)will you be

my (Am)life

sup (F)port?

You’re my life sup port.

You’re my life sup port.

Sick of wak ing up in (Dm)dark ness

when the sky is al ways (F)paint ed blue.

There’s a meth od to my (Dm)mad ness.

It’s clear that you don’t have a (F)clue.

I’ve been wait ing for an (Dm)an swer

be cause I built this bed for (F)two.

I’m just hang ing on your (Dm)an swer.

I’ve built this bed for me and (F)you.

(C)Can’t you see

that (Am)I

am (F)yours?

So (C)will you be

my (Am)life

sup (F)port?

You’re my life sup port.

You’re my life sup port.

You’re my life sup port.

You’re my life sup port.

(C)Can’t you see

that (Am)I

am (F)yours?

So (C)will you be

my (Am)life
