VERSE:
[G]Let's not drag this out
[F]Everything's in motion
[C]Though I've [(2)Bm/G]only ever loved you [Am]kind
And with [D]devotion
[G]Remember when I met you
[F]You were leaving from the start
[C]I thought one day you'd [(2)Bm/G]probably just come [Am]home
And break my [D]heart
BRIDGE:
[Am]It's funny what you [(2)Bm/G]know

You'll ever [C]see that happy [D]ending

[Am]You had to do your [D]will

[Em] [ C D (1)Bm/G]
VERSE 2: (same as verse 1)
I know I'm a dreamer
So I'll give you that
Still I hope I'm more than just a place
You laid your hat
You're a land of secrets
Its only citizen
and though I paid my dues
I was never allowed in
BRIDGE: (same)
And so I am a stranger
Especially today
Cause I get sad and lonely
And you get your way
CHORUS: (same)
You
Were looking for your distance
And sensing my resistance
You had to do your will
I
I had to learn the hard way
That we were just an empty dream too big
For hope alone to fill
MIDDLE:
[F]Holding on for change i know
[D]We never stood a [G]chance
[F]So I could only wait
And watch you [D]slip right through my hands
CHORUS:
[Em]You[C]
[D]Were always looking for your [(2)Bm/G]distance
[C]And sensing my [(2)Bm/G]resistance
[Asus]You had to do your [D]will
[Em]I[C]
[D]I had to learn the[(2)Bm/G] hard way
[C]We were just an[(2)Bm/G] empty dream too [Am]big
[Cm]For hope alone to fill
