capo: 1st fret

[intro]

G D Em D

[verse (1)]

G
You wouldn’t know
D
But i think of you often
Em
It’s like a line i can’t finish
D
Like i’m wishing for nothing

[verse (2)]

G
It’s been a long time
D
Still can’t come up with something
Em
It’s like i’m stuck in a head rush
D
I’ve got some time i can’t manage
C D
And i won’t even try

[verse (3)]

G
Did you feel the sunset
D
Beaming on your way in?
A
Did you get your lover back
D
And laugh about it in the end?

G
Did you feel the wonder?
D
Did you let go of your hurt?
A
Did you hear your daughters cry for you?
D
Love is when they think of you

[verse (4)]

G
You wouldn’t know
D
But your presence is quiet
Em
If i stay still, i can feel it
D
Like it’s speaking in silence

G
It’s been a long night
D
Now i’m imprisoned to morning
Em
I could do anything
D
It just seems too uncertain
C D
So i won’t even try

[verse (5)]

G
I stared up at the moon
D
For a little while and wondered
A
If maybe you were looking too
D
Well maybe you were looking too

G
I thought about that night
D
When you told me about your big plans
A
And all of the things you were going to do
D
And i knew i believed in you

[verse (6)]

G
All of my years keep slipping away, slipping away
D
One in the same
G
All of my years keep slipping away, wrestling me
D
They’ve got too much to take

G
It’s been this way before
D
Pulling out the thorns
Em
They say that there’s a reason for it
C
But i don’t know no more

G
I saw strangers passing by
D
I took their heartache all as mine
Em
And i felt the rain coming down hard
D
I heard your voice
G
Too young to say goodbye
D
Too young to say goodbye
Em
Too young to say goodbye
D
You were too young to say goodbye

[verse (7)]

G
I stood on your front porch
D
Talking to your brother
A
I don’t see him much anymore
D
Things have changed since you’ve been gone

G
Maybe we learned the hard way
D
Or maybe it was a mistake
A
It doesn’t matter either way
D
It was what i wanted anyway

[verse (8)]

G
All of my years keep slipping away, slipping away
D
One in the same
G D
All of my years keep slipping away
G
So i will tell you when i’m done
D
Tell you when i’m done
G
So i will tell you when i’m done
