[Intro] C F G E E7 Am D/F# Gsus4 G F Em [Verse 1]
C               F
Please open the door

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

E7           Am
Pacing these halls

          D/F#          Gsus4  G F Em
Trying to talk over the silence

    C                    F
And pride sticks out its tongue

              G                     E
Laughs at the portrait that we've become

E7         Am
Stuck in a frame

          D/F#          Gsus4 G F Em
Unable to change, I was wrong
[Chorus]
    C             F          G
I'm late, but I'm here right now

         E       E7   Am           D/F#    Gsus4 G
Though I used to be romantic, I forgot somehow

         F   G        C
Time can make you blind

      F       G            E      E7         Am
But I see you now as we're layin' in the darkness

      D/F#     Gsus4 G            F   G       C
Did I wait too long   to turn the lights back on?
[Interlude] (C) F Gsus4 G F Em [Verse 2]
C                F
Herе, stuck on a hill

          G                       E
Outsiders inside the homе that we built

    E7           Am
The cold settles in

                 D/F#        Gsus4 G    F
It's been a long winter of indifference

    Em        C                  F
And maybe you love me, maybe you don't

             G                      E
Maybe you'll learn to and maybe you won't

E7          Am                      D/F#  Gsus4 G F Em
You've had enough, but I won't give up on you
[Chorus]
    C             F          G
I'm late, but I'm here right now

        E           E7     Am            D/F#     Gsus4 G
And I'm tryin' to find the magic that we lost somehow

      F G        C
Maybe I  was blind

      F       G            E      E7       Am
But I see you now as we're layin' in the darkness

      D/F#      Gsus4 G            F   G
Did I wait too long    to turn the lights back on?
[Instrumental] Am D G C F Am Gsus4 G F Am Gsus4 G [Chorus]
    C             F           G
I'm late, but I'm here right now

         E          E7           Am
Is there still time for forgiveness?

          D/F#     Gsus4 G F        Em        C
Won't you tell me how?      I can't read your mind

      F        G           E      E7         Am
But I see you now as we're layin' in the darkness

      D/F#      Gsus4 G            F   G       C   F
Did I wait too long    to turn the lights back on?

               G   E
I'm here right now

         E7         Am  D/F#
Yes, I'm here right now

               Gsus4  G F G
Lookin' for forgiveness

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

               E      E7         Am
Yeah, as we're layin' in the darkness

      D/F#      Gsus4 G F            G           C
Did I wait too long      to turn the lights back on?
