F# 
Woke up from another dream 
with the clouds in my head 
sat down by the window watched the sunrise burning red 
I guess I'm doing alright now 
but there's too much time to kill 
   A                E               F# 
I can't forget you lying there so still 

Picture back to another time 
I see you sitting here 
you said would you ever forgive me if I chose to disappear 
I turned away and closed my eyes 
I didn't think I could 
A                   E              F# 
If that's what you want I guess I would 
A                   E              F# 
if that's what you want I guess I would 


     B 
You know I can't live like everyone else 
                                      F# 
nothing ever seems that simple in my head 
B 
feel myself slipping away 
                                      F# 
don't want to wind up helpless in my bed 
E            B                   E                     B 
This time I want to get out and walk but I think I'll fall 

E B E B E B C# 

INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS 

E B E B E B C# 

I can see myself in so many ways 
but I curse myself instead 
was there something I should have done 
something else I could have said 
you know I tried to change it but I can't forgive you still 

If that's what you want I guess I will 
if that's what you want I guess I will 

You know I can't live like everyone else 
nothing ever comes that simple in my head 
feel myself slipping away 
tired of waking up lonely in my bed 

This time I want to get out and walk but I think I'll fall 
this time I want to get out but I think I'll fall 

E B E B E B C# 

END ON C#
