[Verse 1]
F                        C
  Darkness comes in like lightning
F                    C
  Daytime answers to midnight
F                        C
  Scared to death of the silence
Dm
Make last orders, hopes and kisses
G
Then you're on your own


[Verse 2]
F                       C
  Look for stars in the black sky
F                   C
  Who's feeling the same way?
F                         C
  Fill the blanks with distractions
Dm
Read a story, have some coffee
G
Bags under your eyes


[Chorus]
     F       C
I watch the sky
    Dm
I'm waiting for the day to rise
  F        C
I wish the sun
      Dm
Could stay awake all night


[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
F                 C
  Move random but still here
F                   C
  Some returning to sleep fear
F                     C
  Limerick, Dublin or London
Dm
Twilight biding, eyelids fighting
G
Staring way up high


[Chorus]
     F       C
I watch the sky
    Dm
I'm waiting for the day to rise
  F        C
I wish the sun
      Dm
Could stay awake all night


[Interlude]
|Am |C  |Dm |Dm | x2


[Bridge]
Am    C
Stay awake
Dm
Go to bed when morning's broken
Am    C
Stay awake
Dm
Watch the dark with me
Am    C
Stay awake
Dm
Listening for any songbirds
Am        C
Wait 'til dawn
  Dm
Until you go to sleep


[Chorus]
  F          C
I watch the sky
    Dm
I'm waiting for the day to rise
  F        C
I wish the sun
      Dm
Could stay awake all night
  F          C
I watch the sky
    Dm
I'm waiting for the day to rise
  F        C
I wish the sun
      Dm
Could stay awake all night


[Outro]
F   C      Dm
       I'm waiting for the day to rise
F   C        Dm
       Could stay awake all night
