Cadd9 G6
i hear the clock , it’s six A . m .
C Em
i feel so far from where i’ve been
Cadd9 G6
i got my eggs . i got my pancakes too
C D
i got my maple syrup , everything but you
Cadd9 G6
i break the yolks , make a smiley face
C Em
i kinda like it in my brand new place
Cadd9 G6
wipe the spots off of the mirror don’t leave the keys in the door
C D
i never put my towels on the floor anymore ’cause
C D
dreams last so long
G D Em
even after you’re gone
C D
i know that you love me
G D Em
and soon you will see
C
you were meant for me
D Em Em
and i was meant for you

Cadd9 G6
i called my momma , she was out for a walk
C Em
consoled a cup of coffee but it didn’t wanna talk so i
Cadd9 G6
picked up a paper , it was more bad news
C D
more hearts being broken or people being used
Cadd9 G6
put on my coat in the pouring rain
C Em
i saw a movie it just wasn’t the same
Cadd9 G6
’cause it was happy oh i was sad and
C D
it made me miss you oh so bad

C D
dreams last so long
G D Em
even after you’re gone
C D
i know that you love me
G D Em
and soon you will see
C
you were meant for me
D Em Em
and i was meant for you

C D
go about my business , i’m doing fine
G D Em
besides , what i say if i had you on the line
C D
same old story , not much to say
Em
hearts are broken every day

intro x2

Cadd9 G6
i brush my teeth and put the cap back on
C Em
i know you hate it when i leave the light on
Cadd9 G6
i pick a book up . turn the sheets down .
C D
take a deep breath and a good look around
Cadd9 G6
put on my pj’s and hop into bed
C Em
i’m half alive but i feel mostly dead
Cadd9 G6
i try and tell myself it’ll be all right
C D
i just shouldn’t think anymore tonight

C D
dreams last so long
G D Em
even after you’re gone
C D
i know that you love me
