[Verse 1]
 
Em          Am
been up all night
D          G
staring at you
Em        Am             D
wondering what's on your mind
Em             Am
i've been this way
        D    G
with so many before
         Em             Am      D
but this feels like the first time
 
C                    G
you want the sunrise 
Em                 D
to go back to bed
C             G          D G
i want to make you laugh
 
[Chorus]
 
  D      G       C     G
mess up my bed with me
     D
kick off the covers
    C       G D G
i'm waiting
      D              G
every word you say i think
         C          G
i should write down
        D
i don't want to forget 
     C       G  D
come daylight
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em       Am
happy to lay here
     D        G
just happy to be here
    Em       Am      D
i'm happy to know you
Em        Am
play me a song
D           G
your newest one
Em                Am          D
please leave your taste on my tongue
 
C     G     Em    D
paperweight on my back
C     G          D       G
cover me like a blanket
 
[Chorus]
 
 D      G        C     G
mess up my bed with me
      D
kick off the covers
    C      G D G
i'm waiting
      D              G
every word you say i think
          C         G
i should write down
        D
i don't want to forget
     C          G D Am
come daylight
 
[Bridge]
       D
and no need to worry
G              C    Am
that's wasting time
       D
and no need to wonder
G              C
what's been on my mind
     G         D
it's you
     G
it's you
     C
it's you
 
G D C G D G
 
[Chorus]
 
      D              G
every word you say i think
         C         G
i should write down
        D
i don't want to forget
     C        G D G
come daylight
           D
and i give up
  G       C   G
i let you win
    D                  C        G  D
you win 'cause i'm not counting
 
[Outro]
 
Em           Am
you made it back
   D           G
to sleep again
Em      Am            D
wonder what you're dreaming

great job! Enjoyed the song very much. Guess in the prechorus (and no need to wonder...) there should be a D after the Am?

Lack of accuracy. this tab was not matched up with the words, I had to listen to the song and match it up with the rhythm
