VERSE:
[G]Let's not drag this out

[F]Everything's in motion

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

And with [D]devotion

[G]Remember when I met you

[F]You were leaving from the start

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

And break my [D]heart

BRIDGE:
[Am]It's funny what you [(2)Bm/G]know

[C]And still go on [D]pretending

[Am]With no good evidenc[(2)Bm/G]e

You'll ever [C]see that happy [D]ending

CHORUS:
[Em]You[C]

[D]Looking for your [(1)Bm/G]distance

And [C]sensing my [(2)Bm/G]resistance

[Am]You had to do your [D]will

[Em]I[C]

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

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

For [Cm]hope alone to [Em]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]We never stood a [G]chance

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

CHORUS:
[Em]You[C]

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

[C]And sensing my [(2)Bm/G]resistance

[Asus]You had to do your [D]will
[Em]I[C]

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

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

[Cm]For hope alone to fill

OUTRO:
