Am G C F FM7add9

AmLying awake and lGookingC above

The Fstars and their light fill my thoughts

From Amhere all this shit seems like Gnothing atC all

But the Fmorning will break soon enough

The Glight from the sCtreetlamp

FDanced on your skin

And it made me think

AmBack and remember when Gyou longed toC be

FOne of the stars I now see

FBut the floodgates were opened

CAnd I watched you run

Each dGeparting step

Seemed Dmmore like an ocean in lFength

And by the Amtime I had turned you wereC gone G

And AmI've never felt such such Csudden ambitioGn

FTo see something through to it's end

AmDespite all my longing

CMy humble conGviction

We've alFready drawn our last breath

And Amall the complaints that you Chad now make Gsense

FNo book, just a cover

Not soul mates, just FM7add9lovers

And I watched you run

Each departing step

Seemed more like an ocean in length

By the time I had turned you were gone
