[Intro]
G  D6/F#  Em  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                              D6/F#
   Thought I'd never be waking,     on the kitchen floor
Em                C
   But here I lie,  not the first time
G                            D6/F#
   Now my morning has broken,     and it brings the fear
Em                   N.C.
   My mind's falling,    falling
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
     C     D         Em
Then I feel my pulse quickening
    C      D             Em     G
But regrets can't change anything
     C     D         Em
Yeah I feel my pulse quickening
C        D            Em
When your name lights up the screen
 
 
[Chorus 1]
    G             C
Oh joy, when you call me
  Em                   C             Am7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
 G           C
Joy, set my mind free
  Em                   C             Am7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
 
 
[Post-Chorus 1]
G                              C
How'd you always know when I'm down?
Em                             C
How'd you always know when I'm down?
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                                   D6/F#
   Take a walk through the wreckage,     clearing out my head
Em                       C
   I hear your eyes roll,  right down the phone
G                            D6/F#
   I'm your walking disaster,     keep on dragging me
Em                C
   From self-pity,  poor me
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
     C     D         Em
Then I feel my pulse quickening
    C        D     Em
But I wouldn't change a thing
 
 
[Chorus 2]
    G             C
Oh joy, when you call me
  Em                   C             Am7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
 G           C
Joy, set my mind free
  Em                   C             Am7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
 
 
[Post-Chorus 2]
G                              C
How'd you always know when I'm down?
Em                             C  D
How'd you always know when I'm down?
 
 
[Bridge]
       Am7               C
As the night dissolves into this final frame
         Em                D
You're a sweet relief, you saved me from my brain
        Am7            C
From my brain, from my brain
       Em            D
From my brain (brain,  brain)
         Am7             C
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh-oh
         Em              D
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh-oh
 
 
[Chorus 3]
    G             C
Oh joy, when you call me
  Em                   C             Am7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
 G           C
Joy, set my mind free
  Em                   C             Am7
I was giving up, oh, I was giving in
 
 
[Post-Chorus 3]
N.C.
How'd you always know when I'm down?
N.C.
How'd you always know when I'm down?
 
 
[Outro]
G             C
   I feel joy,  when you call me
Em              C
   I feel joy, (I-I-I feel joy)
G             C
   I feel joy,  when you call me
Em            C
   I feel joy,  when you call me
G                              C
How'd you always know when I'm down?
Em                             N.C.
How'd you always know when I'm down?
