[Verse] E I wanna wake you up G#m I can hardly hear my footsteps E In the falling darkness G#m I can barely wait to see you A In your apartment BG#m (A) We were heading for the better times we wanted AB We were sorry that the distance G#m (E) Took more than we prepared
E (G#m) We could do it again (we could do it again) G#m Just another ending this time E (G#m) Were you ever scared? (were you ever scared?) G#m Did you seek for reasons to get AB Far away from all the travelling G#m (A) And talking on the phone? AB Can't you see it's only what we've been G#m (A) Can't you see the threats?
[Chorus] B Can't you see your own obsessions? C#m Can't you see your count in this? AF#m Can't you see I'm only happy C#m When you're in the house? B You should know I'm only waiting C#m For the times we never had AF#m You should know it's all because of C#m You're not in the house
[Verse, same chords as before] I wanna say it straight (I wanna say it straight) We could be whatever we dreamed Something really good (something really good) Just let yourself get to it In your apartment We were heading for the better times we wanted We were sorry that the distance Took more than we prepared
[Chorus, same as before]
Interlude ("You're not in the house..."): F#mAC#mC#m (x3)
[Chorus, same chords but different lyrics] Can't you see we're going nowhere? Can't you see your count in this? Can't you see I'm only happy When you're in the house? Can't you see my only vision? Can't you see I'm counting this? You should know I can't be happy Till you're in the house
