[Verse]
Gsus4
I can't listen to the radio at night
C
I can't stop analysing lyrics even though I try
Dm D# D7
And mainstream pop is just so crap
C
When did the public's music taste get so bad
G
I knew I had to get up at six A.M
C
And I shoulda gone to bed at quarter to ten
Dm7/A D#/G D7/A
But watching some fat fucking frog narrated by Attenborough
C
Tells sleep to piss off so I don't have to follow her
[Bridge]
C C/B C/A C/G
And I drank a little too much coffee to be able to sleep
G G/F# G/E G/D
Instead just lying in bed in my own depressing heap
C C/B C/A C/G
I'll seize the day tomorrow, well, depending on the weather
G G/F# G/E G/D
If tomorrow ever comes; getting to sleep seems to take forever
[Chorus]
G5
Fuck the alarm!
G5
I should've stayed in bed
C/G
It's meetings cancelled
C5
And plans abandoned
G5
And pointless dialogue
C/G
And countless sigh-a-lots
Dm D# D7
I wouldn't have missed much, missed much at all
C G
If I'd have just stayed in bed
[Verse]
G
I've never heard so much bullshit in the phrase
C
"You never know what will happen, seize the day"
Dm D# D7
Clearly you've never never been to high school
C
Constantly wasting time away like a fool
G
I knew I'd finally be home at 5 P.M
C
And to conserve energy, dinner at 7, 9, in bed
Dm D# D7
But there's a new film out on Netflix
C
How long before I pass out? Let's test it
[Bridge]
C C/B C/A C/B
Coz nothing good ever came of today
G G/F# G/E G/D
Just watching my life fucking waste away
C C/B C/A C/B
As missed rest and moments flash before me
G G/F# G/E G/D
And visions of alternate timelines come to taunt me
[Chorus]
G5
Fuck the alarm!
G5
I should've stayed in bed
C/G
It's meetings cancelled
C5
And plans abandoned
G5
And pointless dialogue
C/G
And countless sigh-a-lots
Dm D# D7
I wouldn't have missed much, missed much at all
C G
If I'd have just stayed in bed
[Verse]
G
I can't listen to the radio at night
C
I can't stop analysing lyrics even though I try
Dm D# D7
And is there any point in trying anyway
C
I'll have to come back eventually so I reckon I'll just stay
G
I knew I had to get up at six A.M
C
And I shoulda gone to bed at quarter to ten
Dm7 D#/G D7/A
But maybe just five more minutes would suffice
C Csus2
I'll stay here forever, that'd be nice
[Chorus]
G5
So fuck the alarm!
G5 G
Baby, I should've stayed in bed
C/G
It's meetings cancelled
C5
And plans abandoned
G5
And pointless dialogue
C
And countless sigh-a-lots
Dm D# D7
I wouldn't have missed much, missed much at all
C C
If I'd have just stayed in bed
C G5
If I'd have just stayed in bed
Gsus4
If I'd have just stayed in bed
Verse
Getting ready to leave I'm holding back the crying
I don't think I'm ready to be waving goodbye
And when I get on that plane
It's gonna sound insane
But I'm gonna miss you the most
Verse
And when I look down at the rushing city
My whole mind will be filled with pity
I know deep down I'm not just settling somewhere new
I'm leaving you
Chorus
I never thought it would be this hard
Having to accept we are gonna be apart
For so long and we know it's true
I hate to say it but I have to
I'm leaving you
I'm leaving you
Verse
When I arrive in this new place
I'm still gonna be trying to hold onto your face
When I stroll down by the gushing streams
All I'll be reminded of is memories held in dreams
Coz I'll never let you fade
Verse
Reflected in the window
Of a typical London bistro
I can already see myself stuck as if by glue
Remembering now, I'm leaving you
Chorus
I never thought it would be this hard
Having to accept we are gonna be apart
For so long and we know it's true
I hate to say it but I have to
I'm leaving you
I'm leaving you
I'm leaving you
