               Am                                   F                  C

1. And in time as one reminds the other of the past,

        F                            C                  Am                 F          C

    a life lived much too fast to hold onto. How am I losing you ?

                     Am                                     F                    C

    A broken house, another dry month waiting for the rain,

          F                     C                   Am                           F         C

    and I had been resisting this decay, I thought you'd do the same.

 

                        F       C

But this is all I ever was,

                              F           C       G                 C

and this is all you came across those years ago.

                F         C

Now you go too far,

                                      F               C                 G         C

don't tell me that I've changed because that's not the truth.

         F          C         G

And now I'm losing you.

 

                 Am                                           F                      C

2. Fragile sound, the world outside just watches as we crawl,

       F                     C                  Am            F        C

    crawl towards a life of fragile lines and wasted time.

                  Am                                  F                      C

    And so I cry as I hold you for the last time in this life,

           F                    C                   Am                               F           C

    this life I tried so hard to give to you. What would you have me do ?

 

+  CHORUS

 

                              Am              F             C   

+  Where I used to end was where you start,

            Am          F     C

    you were the only one.

                                    Am      F            C   

    And now I see your eyes move too fast,

            Am          F     C

    you were the only one

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                 Am                                     F                          C

3. Careful hands, and wandering without that much to say,

              F                        C                      Am                     F         C

    your words are empty as the bed we made. Is there another way ?

           Am                    F         C

    Oh, love, is there another way?

 

                        F       C

But this is all I ever was,

                              F           C       G                 C

and this is all you came across those years ago.

                F         C

Now you go too far,

                                      F               C                 G         C

don't tell me that I've changed because that's not the truth.

         F          C         G

And now I'm losing you.

 

              F         C         G

+  And now I'm losing you.

 

+  Am - F - C (4x)
