Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][F#m][G][A][D]
[F#m][G][D]
[A]

[Verse 1]
I wro[D]te you a letter
To make my[F#m]self feel better
To redeem [G]some part of me
[D]I thought I h[A]ad lost
And we [D]were a lost cause
Long [A]be [F#m]fore we fell apart
'Cause [D]honey, [G]I was too eager
And [D]you were too [A]smart
And [D]I look for you
In [F#m]this empty room
[D]You're a phone [G]call away
[D]I'm on the [A]in terstate
And [Asus4]I've been [D]drinking cheap wine
[A]Just [F#m]to pass the time
[D]I'm fall[G]ing [Gsus2]be hind[G]
And [D]it doesn't matter
[F#m]Who you are to me

[Interlude 1]
[G][A][D][F#m][G]
[D][Asus4][D][F#m][G][D]
[A]

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm [D]just like my mother
[F#m]We both love to run
[A]Chase [G]im possible things
Or un[D]reachable [A]dreams
Lie [D]awake in the night
Thinking [F#m]this can't be right
But there [G]is no other way
To [Asus4]live a li[A]fe alon[D]e[F#m]
I'm [G]alone [Asus4]now[A]

[Interlude 2]
[D][F#m]
[G][D][A][D][F#m][G]
[D][A]

[Verse 3]
Then [D]suddenly we [F#m]wake from this
[G]dream that we have [D]made[A]
It [D]hits you all at [F#m]once and then
[G]It slowly [D]fades[A]
I'm [D]racing into [F#m]nothing now
[G]It all falls [A]away
I [D]know it now
For [F#m]my own sake
That [G]I cannot stay

[Outro 1]

[F#m]
[G][D][A][D][F#m][G]
