Verse 1:
      F                G
I was running late for work
     Am               C
So I didn't change my shirt
               Am            
The evening's drinks left a 
          F           G
lingering taste in my mouth
           F                  G
And when I left you were fast asleep
Am             C
Tangled in the sheets, 
           Am
and on the bus 
           F                  G
I could've sworn it was all a dream
                      F      G C G
That didn't happen to me 


Verse 2:
    F               G
And then I felt the scrapes
         Am              C
From the slippery subway grate.
           Am
Oh how you laughed
           F           G
At my complete lack of grace.
    F             G
But I could not recall
  Am           C
A more perfect fall
                    Am
Cause when I looked up 
          F                      G
into your eyes it didn't hurt at all.


Chorus 1:
      C                    Am       
And I thought, be still my heart
     F                                G
This could be a brand new start, with you.
               C          Am
And it will be clear if I wake up 
                 F         G         F      C G F C G F C G F C G
and you're still here with me in the morning.


Chorus 2:
      C                    Am
And I thought, be still my heart
     F                                G
This could be a brand new start, with you.
               C          Am
And it will be clear if I wake up 
                 F         G
and you're still here with me (in the morning)


Chorus 3:
G           C
Be still my heart
     F                                G
This could be a brand new start, with you.
               C          Am
And it will be clear if I wake up 
                 F         G         C
and you're still here with me in the morning.
