_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ I [C] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] saw you on the street today _ [G] I couldn't catch your [Eb] eye
Or [Dm] you'd have heard me say [C] [F] That _ [G] _ [Em] you moved just to say
_ [C] [Gm] You _ haven't [G] changed your mind [C] Then [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C]
I realized
_ [Bb] We only have each other's eyes
We're [Eb] not even friends And [Dm] I was so surprised
[F] So surprised [Gm] When [Em] the teardrops [G] _ _ [C] [Bb] came
_ [G] I'm living [C] in a lie
_ Living in a lie
[Dm] I made it in my best [Em] I [F] know
_ Best, [C] but the best is gone
_ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] I [Dm] can't remember when [G] You didn't cross my [F] mind
And [C] pull me back again [F] Back again
[G] Into my _ _ [Bb] _ reverie

It's all gone, all [Eb] gone
[Cm] It's all gone, all _ _ [Bb] gone
I stare out the [Cm] window As the world [Eb] trips by
[Bb] _ [Eb] And my [Ab] eyes will glaze Like [Gm] drifted waves
_ _ [Cm] And _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Gm] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [C] my days are red [Gm] Seconds tick [Cm] away
[C] But if I close my [Gm] eyes It's only yesterday
[C] And I see [Gm] rainbows [Cm] Surrounding you and me
But that [Dm] was in the past I know it was
_ [G] I've been living in the best [C] I [Fm] [F] know
[G] Best, but [Em] the best is gone
[Gm] I've _ _ [Eb] _ [Dm]

Living in the [F] best I know
[G] _ [C] _
I can't get over, can't [Gm] get over the past now
[Eb] _ [C] _
The _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[C] _ _ [F] _ past [G] _ [C] [Em] is gone, past [C] is gone
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
