Please open [F] the door
Nothing [G] is different.
We've been [E] here before
[Ab] pacing [Am] these halls
trying [D] to talk over [G] the silence
[F] [Em]
[C] And pride sticks [F] out his tongue
Life's [G] at the portrait that [E] we become
[Ab] stuck [Am] in a frame
unable [D] to change
I [G] was wrong
[F] [Em]
[C] I'm late
[F] But I'm here [G] right now
[E] Though I [Ab] used to be
[Am] Romantic [D] I forgot
[G] Somehow
[F] Time can [G] make you [C] blind
[F] But I see you [G] now
As [E] we're laying in [Am] the darkness
Did [D] I wait to
[G] Move along
To [F] turn the [G] lights [C] back on
[F]
[G] [F] [Em]
[C] Yeah
Stuck [F] on a hill
[G] Outsiders inside the home [E] that we built
[Ab] The cold [Am] settles in it's been a [D] long wind [G] of indifference
[F] [Em] And maybe [C] you love me maybe [F] you don't
Maybe [G] you learn to and maybe [E] you won't
You've [Am] had enough
But I [D] won't give up [G] on you
[F] [Em]
[C] I'm late
[F] But I'm here [G] right now
And [E] I'm trying to find [Am] the magic that [D] we lost
[G] Somehow
[F] Maybe [G] I Was [C] blind
But [F] I see you [G] now
[E] As we're [Ab] laying [Am] in the darkness
Did [D] I wait too [G] long
To [F] turn the [G] lights back [Am] on
[D]
[G] [C]
[F] [Am] [G]
[F] [A] [G]
[C] I'm late
But [F] I'm here right [G] now
Is [E] there still [Ab] time for [Am] forgiveness won't [D] you tell me [G] how
[F] I
[Em] Can't read [C] your mind
[F] But I see you [G] now
[E] As we're laying [Ab] in the [Am] darkness
Did [D] I wait too [G] long
To [F] turn the [G] lights [C] back on
[F] I'm here [G] right now
[E] Yes, I'm here [Am] right [D] now
Looking [G] for forgiveness
[F] [G] I [C] can see
As [F] we're laying in the [G] darkness
Yes [E] we're laying in the [Am] darkness
Did [D] I wait too
[G] long
