[F#m]
[B] [Bm]
[A] [E]
[B] [F#m]
I'm here,
[Bm] you're there, come [A] closer, [E]
tonight I'm [F#m] lonely.
Come here, [Bm]
with me, I [A] want it, [E]
the way it used to [B] [F#m] be.
[C#m] [F#m] What's left of the town [Bm] they believe we came?
[A] So much time [E] has passed, I still [B] need you [F#m]
anywhere.
What's under bridge, [Bm] if you have to take?
[A] What's left [E] of here [B] that did drift [F#m]
away?
I can [Bm] remember days of sun, we knew our lives had just [E] begun.
We could do anything, we're [B] fearless when [F#m]
we're young.
Under the [B] moon, a dress [Bm] unknown, I can remember nights in [F#] Rome.
I [E] thought that love would last, [B] a promise [F#m] set in stone.
[Bm] I'd [E] survive with [A] only memories, [F#m] [Bm] if I could [E] change the way I [A] feel.
But [Bm] I want [E] more than [A] only [F#m] memories, [Bm] a human [E] touch to make them [A] real.
[C#m] [F#m] Another [Bm] day, another dream, over the [F#m] bridge, an empty [A] scene.
We'd [E] spend the weekend lost in [B] bed, and float [F#m]
upstream.
I don't know why we [Bm] moved away, lost in the here and now we [A] [E] strayed.
Into an alien zone, our [Bm] promise [F#m] was betrayed.
I was there, Toronto 10th Avenue, [Bm] you elsewhere, [F#m] we called the city [A] blues.
Then [E] and there, I knew that I'd [B] lost you.

What's left of love, tell [Bm] me who will leave again?
[A] So much time [E] has passed, I [B] still need you in [F#m] the air.
What's under bridge, [Bm] if you have to take?
[F#m] What's left [E] of love, heal [B] that tear that dripped [F#m]
away?
Don't give me all your love and pain, [Bm] don't sell me new love in the rain.
[E] Let's leave our promises behind, [F#m] rewind and try again.
Watch for things in time, [Bm] that didn't fade away.
[A] Sometimes I [E] need to see, [B] the way it [F#m] used to be.
