This is the story of a scarlet letter...
[Intro] GCEmD
[Verse 1] G It just hit me as I lay my head down C No one around in the dark cold night I hear a sound Em In my head, repeat track of everything you've ever said D Must be something, but it's nothing, so I just go back to bed G It's four, crack the door to the hallway in my dreams C But it seems that my hallway keeps closing in on me Em Forcing me out, making me think about you and how you're gone D I see four-o-five with teary eyes and then I write this song
[Chorus] G And I just can't believe it has to be this way C You know we say it seems to me that it was just the other day Em I saw your face and saw your light, you ran the race you fought the fight D But now It's just being torn down for me tonight G And I know it might be a little selfish for me to say C But I need to know if you thought of me at all today Em 'Cause every day I walk past the place you left five days of the week D And now it's ten after four, and I am Taken By Sleep
[Verse 2] G Spending hours on end, deciding on what C I'd say to a friend if I ever saw him again Em 'Cause I don't know if I know, don't wanna come across the wrong way D And I don't know if I know, but I know I want to see your face today G Somebody told me that they saw you cry and break down C Do you know how hard that is to get around and think about? Em It's not like you to let emotions get the best of things D Especially when everything is hanging in the air we breathe
[Chorus] G And I just can't believe it has to be this way C You know we say it seems to me that it was just the other day Em I saw your face and saw your light, you ran the race you fought the fight D But now It's just being torn down for me tonight G And I know it might be a little selfish for me to say C But I need to know if you thought of me at all today Em 'Cause every day I walk past the place you left five days of the week D And now it's ten after four, and I am Taken By Sleep
