(Verse 1)
(G) Bouquets of (Am)flowers fill my (Bm)counter top (C)
(G) And bottles of (Am)champagne waitin' to be (Bm) popped (C)
(G) And my phone is (Am)filled up with congratu-(Bm)lations (C)      
(G) So many (Am)moments waiting to be (Bm) framed (C)

(Chorus)
But the (C)sun just started peaking (G)through
And your (Em)arms are wrapped around me
In this (Em)shirt from middle school (D)
Your Tecovas (C) by the door
Half the (G)covers on the floor
And I (Em)trace my fingers (G)over your (C) tattoos
Yeah, I've been (C)living dreams lately
But they don't (C)hold a candle to
(C)Waking up (D)next to you (G)

(Instrumental)

(Verse 2)
(G) It's crazy to (Am)think you came so out (Bm)of nowhere (C)
(G) And now every-(Am)thing feels different (Bm)if you're not there (C)
(G) Yeah, how can a (Am)person feel like (Bm)comin' home? (C)
(G) I thought I was (Am)always meant for (Bm)sleeping alone (C)

(Chorus)
But the (C)sun just started peaking (G)through
And your (Em)arms are wrapped around me
In this (Em)shirt from middle school (D)
Your Tecovas (C) by the door
Half the (G)covers on the floor
And I (Em)trace my fingers (G)over your (C) tattoos
Yeah, I've been (C)living dreams lately
But they don't (C)hold a candle to
(C)Waking up next to you (Em) (G/B)

(Outro.)
Yeah, (C)waking up (D)next to you (G) (Am) (Bm) (C)
Next to (G) you, (Am) hmm (Bm) (C) - - - - -
