[Verse 1]
Fm D# G#
Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won
C#
Worry and wake the ones you love
Fm D#
B phone call I'd rather not receive
G#
Please use my body while I sleep
C#
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep
Fm
Kept clean and they will let you breathe
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cm D# G# Fm (A#m)
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
Cm D# G# Fm
I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind
[Chorus]
Cm D# G#
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these,
Cm A# Fm
so I sat alone and waited out the night
Cm D# G#
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed,
Cm A# Fm
so I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around, I'm not writing my goodbyes
[Verse 2]
Fm
I submit no excuse
D# G#
If this is what I have to do
C#
I owe you every day I wake
Fm D#
If I could I would shrink myself
G#
And sink through your skin to your blood cells
C#
And remove whatever makes you hurt but
Fm
I am too weak to be your cure
[Pre-Chorus 1]

Fm D# G#/C C#
I'm not letting you check out.

You will beat this, starting now

and you will always be around

I'm there to monitor your breathing.

I will watch you while you're sleeping,
A# C# G#
I will keep you safe and sound
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cm D# G#
Does anybody remember back when you were very young?
Cm A# Fm
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?
