[Intro] C Am Gsus4 G C Am Gsus4 G [Verse 1]
C          Am                 Gsus4
 I used to fall asleep to you talking to me

         G                    C
 I don't listen to anything now

            Am
 Nothing to do with us

     Gsus4            G                        C
 I'm just so tired of thinking about everything

         Am              Gsus4
 I'm not afraid of being alone

              G                       C
 I just don't know what to do with my time

                 Am                     Gsus4                   G
 Between you and me, I thought it would all last a little while longer
[Chorus]
                    F                     Dm
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light

                  Am                   G
While I watch the sky go from black to grey

                    F                         Dm
Learning how not to die inside a little every time

                      Am                G
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
C Am Gsus4 G [Verse 2]
C               Am
 You don't know anything

   Gsus4           G                        C
 I think about you way more than anything else

              Am          Gsus4                G                    C
 I'm not that spiritual I still go out all the time to department stores

      Am                Gsus4           G                   C
 Everything I need, but none of this is getting me anywhere good

                 Am               Gsus4                       G
 Between you and me I still fall apart at the thought of your voice
[Chorus]
                    F                     Dm
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light

                  Am                   G
While I watch the sky go from black to grey

                    F                         Dm
Learning how not to die inside a little every time

                      Am                G
I think about you and wonder if you are awake

                    F                             Dm
And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me

                   Am                 G
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes

                    F                      Dm                     Am
Learning how not to cry every time there's another sad unbearable morning

                      G
But sometimes there's nothing I can do
[Bridge]
        Dm
I can't help it

     Am                 G                 F
It's you that I think I hear in the quiet light

     Dm
Am I crazy?

Am                            G                       F
You're nowhere near me, guess I don't know what I'm saying

     Dm            Am                    G                  F
Just call me, I'll come to where you are alone in the quiet light

           Dm                Am
I'm always thinking you're behind me

                             C          G
And I turn around and you're always there
[Chorus]
                    F                     Dm
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light

                  Am                   G
While I watch the sky go from black to grey

                    F                         Dm
Learning how not to die inside a little every time

                      Am                G
I think about you and wonder if you are awake

                    F                             Dm
And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me

                   Am                 G
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes

                    F                      Dm                     Am
Learning how not to cry every time there's another sad unbearable morning

                      G                F
But sometimes there's nothing I can do
[Outro] Dm Am G F Dm Am G F
