VERSE:
G
Let’s not drag this out

F
Everything’s in motion

C           (2)Bm/G             Am
Though I’ve only ever loved you kind

         D
And with devotion


G
Remember when I met you

F
You were leaving from the start

C                       (2)Bm/G            Am
I thought one day you’d probably just come home

             D
And break my heart

BRIDGE:
Am                  (2)Bm/G
It’s funny what you know

C               D
And still go on pretending

Am                  (2)Bm/G
With no good evidence

            C              D
You’ll ever see that happy ending


CHORUS:
Em   C
You

D                (1)Bm/G
Looking for your distance

    C          (2)Bm/G
And sensing my resistance

Am                 D
You had to do your will

Em  C
I

D                (1)Bm/G
Had to learn the hard way

C               (2)Bm/G         Am
We were just an empty dream too big

    Cm            Em
For hope alone to fill


FILL:
[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                G
We never stood a chance

F
So I could only wait
              D
And watch you slip right through my hands

CHORUS:
Em  C
You

D                            (2)Bm/G
Were always looking for your distance

C              (2)Bm/G
And sensing my resistance

Asus               D
You had to do your will
Em  C
I

D                 (2)Bm/G
I had to learn the hard way

C              (2)Bm/G          Am
We were just an empty dream too big

Cm
For hope alone to fill

[C (2)Bm/G Am D       ]
