[D]
[C#m] [E] [D]
A light reflects from your shadow
[E] It is more than [D] I thought could exist
You move through the room [A] like breathing [C#m] was easy
If someone [D] believed me
They would be as in [E] love with you as [A] I am
They would [D] be as in love [E] with you as [A] I am
They would [D] be as in [E] love with you [A] as I am
They would [D] be in [E] love, love, [D] love
And everyday [F#m] I am learning [E] about you
The things that [D] no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
[A] Like dreaming of angels
And leaving without them
[D]
[A] [Bm] And leaving without [E] [Am] them
[D] Being as in [E] love with you as [A] I am
[D] Being as in [E] love with you as [A] I am
[D] Being as in [E] love with you as [A] I am
Being [D] as in [E] love, [D] love, love
[A] Love,
[Em] [G] love, love, [E] love, [A] love, love
[D]
And with [F#m] words unspoken, a silent [E] devotion
I know you [Bm] know what I mean
And the end is [F#m] unknown, but I think [E] I'm ready
As long [D] as you're with me
[Bm] Being as in [E] love with you [D] as I am
[Bm]
Being as [Em] in love with you as [B] I am
Being [D] as in [E] love with you as [B] I am
Being [E] as in love, love, [A] love

[F#m] [D]
[A] [C#m] [F#m]
[D] [F#m] I saw [E] you again, it felt like we'd never [D] met
[E] It's [F#] like the sunset [E] in your eyes
I [B] never [Am] wanted [E] to [D] rise
What [E] have you done [F#] [A] with the [D] one I love?
When I look [E] into your eyes, [F#] I [D] see no surprise
I always thought it [F#m] was sad, the way we act [C#m] like strangers
After all that [F#m] we had, we act [D] like we had never met
[F#m] You make believe,
[C#m] I've never [F#m] seen your face, you [D] leave your mind
Don't [F#m] catch my eye, yeah
[C#m]
Don't [F#m] register a [Bm] smile, [F#m] you were more than just [C#m] a friend
[F#m] Oh, but the [F#] feeling, [G#] [F#m] it never came [C#m] to an end
[E] Like I'm back, [F#m] you see
[D]
I always thought it was a shame, that we [G] have to [C#m] play these games
It felt like you [A] really knew me, it feels like [D] you see through me

[A] [B]
I [A] see you again, I'll know not to [C#m] expect
Stay one step [F#m] away, we won't have [Bm] to [D] wait
When I see [F#m] you again, and I'm greeted [C#m] as a friend
It is understood, [F#m] when we did all [D] we could
I always [F#m] thought it was sad, the way we [G#] act [A] like strangers
After all [D] that we had, we [G] act like we had never met
