Chords

[Intro] Em C D G C G Am D [Verse]
G
Let's not drag this out

F
Everything's in motion

            C    G              Am
Though I've only ever loved you kind

         D
And with devotion

G
Remember when I met you

         F
You were leaving from the start

  C                     G                  Am
I thought one day you'd probably just come home

             D
And break my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                  G
It's funny what you know

    C              D
And still go on pretending

     Am          G
With no good evidence

            C              D
You'll ever see that happy ending
[Chorus]
Em   C
You

     D                G
Were looking for your distance

    C            G
And sensing my resistance

    Am             D
You had to do your will

Em  C
I

D                G
Had to learn the hard way

C               G               Am
We were just an empty dream too big

    Cm            Em
For hope alone to fill
Em C D G [Verse 2]
G
I know I'm a dreamer

F
So I'll give you that

        C        G                Am
Still I hope I'm more than just a place

              D
You laid your hat

G
You're a land of secrets

    F
Its only citizen

    C                G
and though I paid my dues

      C             D
I was never allowed in
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am        G
And so I am a stranger

   C         D
Especially today

      Am            G
Cause I get sad and lonely

    C            D
And you get your way
[Chorus]
Em   C
You

     D                G
Were looking for your distance

    C            G
And sensing my resistance

    Am             D
You had to do your will

Em  C
I

D                G
Had to learn the hard way

C               G               Am
We were just an empty dream too big

    Cm            Em
For hope alone to fill
[Bridge]
F
Holding on for change I know

   C             G
We never stood a chance

   F
So I could only wait and watch you

D
Slip right through my hands
[Chorus]
Em   C
You

     D                G
Were looking for your distance

    C            G
And sensing my resistance

    Am             D
You had to do your will

Em  C
I

D                G
Had to learn the hard way

C               G               Am
We were just an empty dream too big

    Cm            Em
For hope alone to fill
[Outro] Em C D G C G Am D G
