[Intro]
C Em F C G
[Verse 1]
C Em
I wrote you a letter to make myself feel better
F C G
To redeem some part of me I thought I had lost
C Em
And we were lost cause long before we fell apart
F C G
'Cause honey, I was too eager And you were too smart
C Em
Yet I look for you in these empty rooms
F C G
You're a phone call away, I'm on the interstate
C Em
And I been drinking cheap wine just to pass the time
F C G
I'm falling behind and it doesn't matter
C Em F G
Who you are to meee
C Em F C G x2
[Verse 2]
C Em
I'm just like my mother, we both love to run
F C G
Chase impossible things or unreachable dreams
C Em
Lie awake in the night thinking this can't be right
F C G C Em
But there is no other way to live a life alone
F G
I'm alone now
C Em F C G x2
[Verse 3]
C Em F C G
Then suddenly we wake from this dream that we have made
C Em F C G
It hits you all at once and then it slowly fades
C Em F G
I'm racing into nothing now, it all falls away
C Em F C G
I know it now for my own sake that I cannot stay
C Em F C G x4 C
