As recorded by the Indigo Girls (From the 2002 Album BECOME YOU) [Intro] F#m D E A D A Bm7 E [Verse 1]
A
Let's not drag this out

A7
Everything's in motion

D                A              Bm7
Though I've only ever loved you kind

           E
And with devotion

  A
Remember when I met you

         A7
You were leaving from the start

          D             A                  Bm7
I thought one day you'd probably just come home

             E
And break my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
     Bm             A
It's funny what you know

    D              E
And still go on pretending

     Bm7
With no good evidence

A           D              E
You'll ever see that happy ending
[Chorus]
F#m D     E                A
You  were looking for your distance

    D            A
And sensing my resistance

    Bm7            E
You had to do your will

F#m D E                A
I     had to learn the hard way

D               A               Bm7
We were just an empty dream too big

    D             F#m D E A
For hope alone to fill
[Verse 2]
A
I know I'm a dreamer

A
So I'll give you that

D                A                Bm7
Still I hope I'm more than just a place

              E
You laid your hat

A
You're a land of secrets

A
Its only citizen

    D                A
And though I paid my dues

      Bm7           E
I was never allowed in
[Pre-Chorus]
    Bm7       A
And so I am a stranger

D            E
Especially today

       Bm            A
'Cause I get sad and lonely

    D            E
And you get your way
[Chorus]
F#m D     E                A
You  were looking for your distance

    D            A
And sensing my resistance

    Bm7            E
You had to do your will

F#m D E                   A
I,    I  had to learn the hard way

D               A               Bm7
We were just an empty dream too big

    D             A
For hope alone to fill
[Bridge]
G
Holding on for change I know

   D             A
We never stood a chance

   G
So I could only wait

              E
And watch you slip right through my hands
[Chorus]
F#m D     E                A
You  were looking for your distance

    D            A
And sensing my resistance

    Bm7            E
You had to do your will

F#m D E                   A
I,    I  had to learn the hard way

D               A               Bm7
We were just an empty dream too big

    D             F#m
For hope alone to fill
[Outro] D E A D A Bm E A
