[verse 3]
And [Dm]I tend to close [Am]my eyes when it [G]hurts sometimes.
I fall into [Am]your [Dm]arms.
I’ll be [Am]safe in your sound ’til I [G]come back around.

[chorus]
Now the day blee[C]ds into night[G]fall.
And you’re not [Am]here to get me through it [F]all.
I let my guard [C]down, and then you pulled the [G]rug.
I was getting kinda [Am]used to being someone you [F]loved.

[chorus]
But now the day blee[C]ds into night[G]fall.
And you’re not [Am]here to get me through it [F]all.
