[Chorus]
Am                     D
Don't fall asleep, you love
 me much too well
   Bm                         
If you can't hear a word I say,
       Em
 then I won't make a sound
      Am                     
Oh, oh, oh, don't fall asleep 
      D
'cause there's no way to tell
   Bm                        
If when you wake I still will 
        Em
be the one you want around

Oh, oh, oh
D
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
Am
I had to be brave, just a little
          D
I hate to see another Malcolm
 getting stuck in the middle
        Bm                   
I gotta look both ways before
                  Em
 you put me in an emo band
            Am
I like your skin and when it
 presses on my face and my chin
      D
Let's get another hotel,
 let the ending begin
     Bm
Room service at thе door,
 but we're not letting 'еm in
     Em
It's fine, 'cause I am 
yours and you are mine
