[Am] [D]
[G] [F] [Em]
[C] 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 its tongue, life's at [G] the portrait that we [E] 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 right [G] now, [E] though I used [Ab] to be [Am] romantic, I [D] forgot
[G] somehow.
Time [F] can [G] make you [C] blind, but [F] I see you [G] now, as [E] we're laying in the [Am] darkness.
Did [D] I wait too [G] long to [F] turn the [G]
lights back [C] on?

it's been a [D] long winter of [G] indifference.
[F] [Em] And maybe you [C] love me, maybe [F] you don't, maybe [G] you'll learn to, and maybe you [E] won't.

was [C] blind, but [F] I see you [G] now, as [E] we're laying [Ab]
in the [Am] darkness.
