Intro:
C Em F C G

Verse 1:
 C             Em
I wrote you a letter to make myself feel better
    F          C       G
To redeem some part of me I thought I had lost
    C            Em
And we were lost cause long before we fell apart
       F          C      G
'Cause honey, I was too eager And you were too smart
   C          Em
Yet I look for you in this empty room
     F          C      G
You're a phone call away, I'm on the inner state
      C           Em
And I been drinking cheap wine just to pass the time
  F          C    G
I'm falling behind and it doesn't matter
    C  Em  F C G
Who you are  to meee

C Em F C G


Verse 2:
  C            Em
I'm just like my mother, we both love to run
     F          C    G
Chase impossible things or unreachable dreams
   C             Em
Lie awake in the night thinking this can't be right
     F        C     G   C   Em F
But there is no other way to live a life alone
   C G
I'm alone now

C Em F C G


Verse 3:
   C      Em      F          C G
Then suddenly we wait from the stream that we have made
  C       Em        F   C G
It ?: you all at once and then it slowly fades
  C      Em       F     C G
I'm racing into nothing now, it all falls away
 C        Em        F    C G
I know it now from my own sake that I cannot stay
