D A g#min A
in a book , in a box , in the closet

D A g#min A
in a line in a song i once heard

c#min D A
in a moment on a front porch late one june

c#min D A
in a breath inside a whisper , beneath the moon

D A g#min A
there it was at the tip of my fingers

D A g#min A
there it was on the tip of my tongue

c#min D A
there you were and i had never been that far

c#min D C
there it was; the whole world wrapped inside my arms

G A
and i let it all slip away

chorus

D C
what do i do now that you’re gone

G
no back up plan no second chance

g#min A
and no one else to blame

D C G
all i can hear in the silence that remains

A
are the words i couldn’t say

B F# g#min F# 2x then to the verse .

verse 2!

D A g#min A
theres a rain that will never stop fallin

D A g#min A
theres a wall that i tried to take down

c#min D A
what i should have said just wouldn’t pass my lips

c#min D C
so i held back and now we’ve come to this

G A
and it’s too late now

chorus!

D C
what do i do now that you’re gone
