[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][G][C][G]
[Em][G][D][G]
[Em][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I used
to [Em]fall asleep to you talk[D]ing [G]to me
I don't listen to anything now
Nothing to [Em]do with us
I'm [D]just so [G]tired [D]of think[G]in'
about [D]everything[G]
I'm not afraid [Em]of being alone
[G]I just don't know what to
do with my time
Between you and me
[Em]I thought it would all las[D]t
[G]a little while l[D]onger
[G]But I'm learning

[Verse 2]
to lie [D]here
[C]in the [G]quiet [C]light
[G]Whi[Am]le I watch the sky go
from [Em]black to [G]gray
Learning how not to die [C]in [Am]side a little
Every [G]time I [Am]think about you and
[Em]wonder if [Am]you [Em]are awake
[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]You don't know [Em]anything
I [D]think about you way more
than any[G]thing else
I'm not that spiritual,
[Em]I stil[D]l go out all the time
To department [G]stores
Everything [Em]I need,
but [G]none of this is getting me anywhere good
Between you and [Em]me
I still fall apart [G]at the thought of your voice

[Verse 4]
But I'm [G]learning to lie [C]here
in the quiet light
[Am]While I watch the sky [Em]go[Am]
[Em]from black to [G]gray
[D]Learn[G]ing how not to die
[C]insid[Am]e a little
[C]Every [Am]time I think about you [G]and
[Em]wonder if you are [G]awake
And [Em]I'm learning to [G]live w[C]ithout
the heartache it [G]gives me
[Am]Nothing I [G]wouldn't[Em]
do for another few [G]minutes
[Em]Lear[G]ning how not to cry[Am]
[C]Every time there's an[G]other
[D]sad [C]unbea[Am]r abl[G]e morning
But [Em]sometimes there's nothing I [G]can do

[Verse 5]
I can't [Am]help it
It's [Em]you that I think I [D]hear
in the [G]quiet [C]light
Am [G]I crazy?[Am]
[Em]You're nowhere near me
Guess [G]I don't know what I'm saying
[D]Jus[G]t call me[Am]
[Em]I'll come to where you are
[G]Alone in [D]the quiet [C]light
I'm al[Am]ways thinking
you're be[Em]hind me
And [G]I turn around and you're always there
But I'm [Bm]learning [G]to lie

[Verse 6]
[Am]here
in [C]the quiet [Am]light
While I watch [Em]the sky
go from black [D]to gray
[G]Learning how not [Am]to die inside a little
[C]Every [Am]time I think about you and
[Em]wonder if you are [D]awake
And I'm [Em]learning [C]to live without
the heartache it [Am]gives me
Nothing I wouldn't [Em]do for
another few [D]minutes
Learning [Bm]how not t[C]o cry
Every time there's an[Am]other
sad unbearable morning
[Em]But sometimes there's noth[D]ing I
can [G]do

[Outro 1]
[C][Am][Em][C][D][C][Am]
