[Verse 1]
Am                           C                     G                     F
Find me at a quarter to three, cigarette in hand
Am                     C                     G                     F
I’d be at every party, I wouldn’t miss a chance

Wake up to someone with nothing to say

I’d never change, thought I’d never change
Then you come and change it all

Thought I’d found the highest of highs
G                                         F
You came and topped them all
Am                                         C
You shine in the dead of the night
G                                         F
And I was the first to fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                     C
Fading away, fading away
G                                               F
Wake up to someone with nothing to say
