Verse 1: D What a sight Never thought A I'd find you here Rest anew you G disappeared D We all get lost D I thought I had lost A you amongst the mess And the cluttered G things in my head D But here you are D When you wake I'll be A a thousand miles away from the promises I GDA/C# made And all I love D I'm a dreamer with A nothing left to dream Try to tear a hole in GDA/C#BmBb the seam of reality
Chorus: EbG#m Don't ever forget me EbG#m Don't ever forget me EbG#m I thought I lost you B Thought I lost you C# I thought I lost you
Verse 2: D Thought I lost you A amongst the mess And the demons G in my head D But here you are D I would leave to return A more lost than before A little more tired G a little less sure D/F#EmDA/C# Of where I was D The Earth would move by We would stand A in place Hide in the G shadow of the day DA/C# Almost out of time Yeah we're almost BmBb out of time
