[C] [G]
[F] [C]
[Dm] [Am] [G]
[F] [C]
[G] And [F] somehow the feeling still [C] wasn't right.
[Dm] And still we [Am] continued [G] on [F] through the night.
[F] [C]
Placing our steps [G] from the beginning
[F] Till they vanish into the [Em] air
[C]
[Dm] Trying to [Am] understand how our life [G] had [F] led us there
[C]
[F] Looking [G] [Am] hard into your eyes
[G] There was nobody [F] I'd ever [Em] known
[G] Such an empty [F] surprise
[G] [Am] [F] To feel [G] so [Am] alone
[G]
[C] Now for me some [G] words come easy
But [F] I know that they don't mean [Em] that much
[Am] [C]
[Dm] Compared [Am] with the things [G] that are said when [F] lovers die
You [C]
[F] never [C] knew [G] what I loved in you
I [F] don't know what you loved in [Em] me
[C]
[Dm] Maybe the picture of [Am] somebody you [G] were hoping I [F] might [Dm] be
[C]
[F] Awake [G] again, [Am] I can't pretend
[G] [F] And I know [Em] I'm alone
[G] And close to [F] the end
[Am] [F] Of the feeling [G] we've [Am] known
[G] How [C] [C]
[F] [C] long have I been sleeping?
[Dm] How [Am] long have I been drifting [G] along through [F] the night?
How long have [C] I been dreaming I [G] could make it right?
[C] If I closed my eyes and [F] tried with all my might
To [Am] be the one you need
[C]
[G] [F]
[C] [Dm]
[Am] [G] [F]
[C]
[G] [F]
[C] Awake [Dm]
[Am] [G] [F] [Em] [Dm]
[C] [F] [G] again, [Am] I can't pretend
And [G] [F] I know I'm [Em] alone
[G] And close [F] to the [G] end
[Am] [F] Of the feeling [G] we've [Am] known
[G] [C] [Dm] [F] How long have [C] I been sleeping?
[Dm] How long have [Am] I been drifting [G] along?
[F] How long have [C] I been running for that morning [F] flight
[C] Through the whispered promises and the [F] changing light
[C] Of the bed where we both [G] lied
Late for the [C] skies
[Bb] [C] [G] [Bb]
