Please open the

|F |

door, nothing is

|G |

different, we’ve been here be-

|E

fore,

E7/G# |

pacing these-

||Am |

halls, trying to

|D/F# |

talk, over the

|Gsus4

silence,

G |

|F

Em |

and-

||C |

pride sticks out its

|F |

tongue, laughs at the

|G |

portrait that we’ve be-

|E

come,

E7/G# |

stuck in a-

||Am |

frame, unable to

|D/F# |

change, I was

|Gsus4

wrong,

G |

|F

Em |

I’m-

||C |

late, but I’m

|F |

here right

|G |

now, though I

|E

used to

E7/G# |

be ro-

||Am |

mantic, I for-

|D/F# |

got some-

|Gsus4

how,

G |

time can

|F

make

G |

you blind-

||C |

But I

|F |

see you

|G |

now, as we’re

|E

layin’

E7/G# |

in the-

||Am |

darkness, did I

|D/F# |

wait too

|Gsus4

long,

G |

to turn the

|F

lights-

G |

back-

||C |

on?

|F |

|Gsus4

G |

|F

Em |

||C |

Here, stuck on a

|F |

hill, outsiders

|G |

inside the home that we

|E

built, the

E7/G# |

cold settles-

||Am |

in, it’s been a long

|D/F# |

winter of in-

|Gsus4

dif-

G |

ference,

|F

and

Em |

maybe you-

||C |

love me, maybe you

|F |

don’t, maybe you’ll

|G |

learn to and maybe you

|E

won’t,

E7/G# |

you’ve had e-

||Am |

nough, but I won’t give

|D/F# |

up, on

|Gsus4

you,

G |

|F

Em |

I’m-

||C |

late, but I’m

|F |

here right

|G |

now, and I’m

|E

tryin’ to

E7/G# |

find the mag-

||Am |

ic, that we

|D/F# |

lost some-

|Gsus4

how,

G |

maybe

|F

I

G |

was-

||C |

blind, but I

|F |

see you

|G |

now, as we’re

|E

layin’

E7/G# |

in the-

||Am |

darkness, did I

|D/F# |

wait too

|Gsus4

long,

G |

to turn the

|F

lights-

G |

back-

||Am |

on?

|G |

now, is there

|E

still time

E7/G# |

for for-

||Am |

giveness? Won’t you

|D/F# |

tell me

|Gsus4

how?

G |

|F

I can’t

Em |

read your-

||C |

mind, but I

|F |
