[Verse 1] 0:49
N.C.                  F#maj7
I don't wanna see you cry 
                  D#m7-5         C#maj7
You don't have to feel this emptiness
           Fm7-5                     D#m7    D#m7-5
She said I love you till the day that I die
G#m7-5      F#maj7
Maybe she's right
                    D#m7-5            C#maj7
Cause I don't wanna feel like I'm not me
          Fm7-5                    D#m7
And to be honest I don't even know why
  D#m7-5                           G#m7-5   F#maj7
I let myself get down in the first place
 
 
[Chorus 1] 1:20
          D#m7-5          C#maj7
Trying to keep my mind at bay
   Fm7-5                  D#m7
Sunflowers still grows at night
D#m7-5                                   G#m7-5     F#maj7
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
        D#m7-5           C#maj7
Make it down down, do-do-down
        Fm7-5          D#m7
Make it do-down, du du du
D#m7-5                                              F#maj7
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
 
 
[Verse 2] 1:54
F#maj7
You know you need to get yourself to sleep and dream
    D#m7-5           C#maj7
And dream of you and I
           Fm7-5                D#m7
There's no need to keep an open eye
  D#m7-5
I promise I'm the one for you
                     G#m7-5          F#maj7
Just let me hold you in these arms tonight
F#maj7
I'm lucky to be near you
        D#m7-5       C#maj7
You can see it in my face
            Fm7-5                      D#m7
Back when I fucked my shit up too many times
            D#m7-5                           G#m7-5   F#maj7
Why would I let myself get down in the first place
 
 
[Chorus 2] 2:23
F#maj7    D#m7-5          C#maj7
Trying to keep my mind at bay
   Fm7-5                  D#m7
Sunflowers still grows at night
D#m7-5                                   G#m7-5     F#maj7
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
        D#m7-5           C#maj7
Make it down down, do-do-down
        Fm7-5          D#m7
Make it do-down, du du du
D#m7-5                                              F#maj7
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
 
 
[Bridge] 2:53-3:21
N.C.
And so she sat me down and told me that I didn't have to cry
N.C.
Said I didn't need to get down and feel empty inside
N.C.
And told me that she love me for as long as she's alive
N.C.
And well, maybe she's right, cause I hate it when I feel like I'm not me
N.C.
See, I honestly, don't even know why
N.C.
I, I honestly don't even know why
 
 
[Chorus] 3:40
F#maj7    D#m7-5          C#maj7
Trying to keep my mind at bay
   Fm7-5                  D#m7
Sunflowers still grows at night
D#m7-5                                   G#m7-5     F#maj7
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
        D#m7-5           C#maj7
Make it down down, do-do-down
        Fm7-5          D#m7
Make it do-down, du du du
D#m7-5                                              F#maj7
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes

I'm pretty sure your D#m7 should be moved up a fret to 6-7-6-8-6-x
