C F/C C G/C C F/C C G
[Verse 1]
C F/C G/C
There is never a time to say
Bb/C F/C
'Cause it seems to me we've lost our way
C F/C G/C
So we carry on down the road
Bb/C F/C
When we live our lives haunted by
Dm7 G C F
All the things we say and do
Dm7 G Em Am
Keep on missing when I'm alone
Dm7 C/G F/G C/G G
With you
[Verse 2]
C F/C G/C
No there's never a time to change
Bb/C F/C
You don't get a chance to rearrange
C F/C G/C
It's a long, long way to go..
Bb/C F/C
Just to find out something we both know
Dm G C F
Can't you see what's going on?
Dm G Em Am
It's so sad that a love so strong
Dm7 C/G G
Has gone
[Bridge]
Bb F/A Gm7 F Bb F/A G C
All I know is what is true
Bb F/A F Gm7
All I ask is for you
Dm7 G C
To just look around and see
F/Bb C/Bb
You live your life locked in a dream
Eb/Bb Bb
Where nothing is real and not what it seems
F/Bb C/Bb
We can't go on another day
Am7 Gm7
Just being afraid to say
[Verse 3]
C F/C G/C
'Cause it's a long, long way to fall
Bb/C F/C
When we both thought we had it all
C F/C G/C
When you know there's a time to say
Bb/C F/C
'Cause we're all played out; We've lost our way!
Dm7 G C F
All I hoped that you would be
Dm7 G Em Am7
Was so understanding, and by now you'd see
Dm7 C/G F/C
But oh no...
C/G G C/G F/G
So sad, ohh, so sad
C/G G Am7 G
That's the way that it goes, I know
F C
I'm gonna tell you right now...
