  Please open the door

           G                            E/G#   E7/G#
Nothing is different, we've been here before

             Am               D
Pacing these halls, trying to talk

         Gsus4   G   Gsus2   G
Over the silence
[Verse 2]
C                    F
Pride sticks out its tongue

              G                   E/G#    E7/G#
Laughs at the portrait that we've become

           Am               D
Stuck in a frame, unable to change

      Gsus4   G   Gsus2   G
I was wrong
[Chorus 1]
    C             F          G
I'm late, but I'm here right now

         E    E7/G# Am
Though I used to be romantic

     D       Gsus4  G
I forgot somehow

         Gsus2    G
Time can make you blind

C       F       G
  But I see you now

         E     E7/G#   Am
As we're laying in the darkness

Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on

C                F
Here, stuck on a hill

          G                        E/G#   E7/G#
Outsiders inside, the home that we built

                 Am                   D
The cold settles in, it's been a long winter

     Gsus4   G   Gsus2   G
Of indifference
[Verse 4]
          C                  F
Maybe you love me, maybe you don't

             G                      E/G#   E7/G#
Maybe you'll learn to, and maybe you won't

           Am                       D
You've had enough, but I won't give up

   Gsus4   G   Gsus2   G
On you
[Chorus 2]
    C             F          G
I'm late, but I'm here right now

        E         E7/G#    Am
And I'm trying to find the magic

        D       Gsus4  G
That we lost somehow

Gsus2    G  C
Maybe I was blind

C       F       G
  But I see you now

         E     E7/G#   Am
As we're laying in the darkness

      D        Gsus4   G
Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on

I'm late, but I'm here right now

         E         E7/G#   Am
Is there still time for forgiveness

          D       Gsus4   G
Won't you tell me how

Gsus2    G         C
 I can't read your mind

  But I see you now

As we're laying in the darkness

    Looking for forgiveness

      C             F             G
I can see, as we're laying in the darkness

         E     E7/G#   Am
As we're laying in the darkness

      D        Gsus4   G
Did I wait too long

            Gsus2  G    C
To turn the lights back on
