Intro:
|C |G |F |C/E |
|Dm |Am G |F |F |
[C]Now the words had all been [G]spoken,
And somehow [F]the feeling still wasn't [C/E]right,
[Dm]..And still we con[Am]tinued [G]on through the [F]night.[F]
[C]Tracing our steps from the be[G]ginning,
Until they [F]vanished into the ai[C/E]r,
[Dm]Trying to understand how [Am]our lives [G]had led us [F]there. [C]
CHORUS
[F]Looking hard [Am]into your eyes,
There was [G]nobody [G7]I'd ever kno[Em]wn.
Such an [Dm]empty sur[F]prise [Am] to [F]feel so a[G]lon[G7]e____ .[G]
Now for [C]me, some words come [G]easy,
But I know that [F]they don't mean that [C/E]much,
[Dm]..Compared with the [Am]things that are [G]said when lovers [F]touch.[F]
[C]..You never knew what I [G]loved in you,
I don't know [F]what you loved in [C/E]me,
[Dm]Maybe the picture of some[Am]body you were [G]hoping I might [F]be. [C]
CHORUS
[F]Awake again, I [Am]can't pretend, [G] and I [G7]know Im a[Em]lone
And [Dm]close to the [F]end____[Am] of the [F]feeling we've [G]know[G7]n[G].
[F]How long have I been [C]sleeping?
[Dm]How long have I been d[Am]rifting alo[G]ne through the n[F]ight?
[F]How long have I been [C/G]dreaming I could [G7]make it right?
If I [C/G]closed my eyes and tried with [F]all my might
To be the o[Am]ne you ne____ed.

CHORUS
[F]Awake again, I [Am]can't pretend [G] and I [G7]know I am a[Em]lone,
And [Dm]close to the [F]end___[Am] of the [F]feeling we've [G]know[G7]n.[G]
[F]How long have I been [C/E]sleeping?
[Dm]How long have I been [Am]drifting al[G]one through the [F]night?
[F]How long have I been [C/G]running for that [G7]morning flight?
[C/G]Through the whispered promises in the [F]changing light,
Of the [C]bed where we both [G]lie,
Late for the [C]sky. [Bb]
C Bb rep & fade
