C2 [ pm ] C2/B [ pm ] A [ pm ] B [ pm ]
i Am leaving for a while can you tell me that we . will . be . ok

C2 [ pm ] C2/B [ pm ] A [ pm ]

( chorus )

C2 B A E
so long , i’ve waited for this day to find someone to go to , and i just want

C2 B A
to tell you , that its so on , we’re leaving yesterday , and i dont think life

E [ silence ]
will ever be the same , lets take this all the way .

C2 [ pm ] C2/B [ pm ] A [ pm ]
dead silence on the phone , leading to a dial tone , this is not what i have

B C2 C2/B
planned , the endless memories without you , life passing by with out you ,

A B E
each day just like a grain of sand , but i wont let them ever take you

ever take you ever take you

C2 B A E
so long , i’ve waited for this day to find someone to go to , and i just want

C2 B A
to tell you , that its so on , we’re leaving yesterday , and i dont think life

E
will ever be the same , lets take this all the way .

E A C2
can you face me , can you wait for it

E A C2 E – – – – – – – – – – – – –
can you taste me , can you fight for it

E
will you fight for it .

C2 B A E
so long , i’ve waited for this day to find someone to go to , and i just want

C2 B A
to tell you , that its so on , we’re leaving yesterday , and i dont think life

E
will ever be the same , lets take this all the way .
