Intro: G+G Cadd9(4x)

  G+G               Cadd9Cadd9
I guess it’s where we have to let it end
   G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
It seems our best intentions came up shorting us again
G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
Can you see the sunset from your highway
   G+G              Cadd9Cadd9
And can you leave those plans for us behind?

D MajorD              E minorEm
  Cause broken hearts they mend
         Cadd9Cadd9
To fall in love again
          D MajorD
You won’t see me breaking

          G+G
When I leave your key there on the nightstand
     D/F#D/F#
Lock the door so I can’t walk in
     E minorEm
And make sense of this
        Cadd9Cadd9
When there’s no sense to this
         G+G
When I break a window and cut my hand
      D/F#D/F#
Shattered glass, I’ll climb back in
     E minorEm
Lose my head again
          Cadd9Cadd9
And wonder where it ever went

G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
This is where we found ourselves again
   G+G            Cadd9Cadd9
The same old resolution loses meaning once again
   G+G              Cadd9Cadd9
And can you see the sunset in New Jersey?
   G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
And can you leave that place we knew behind?

D MajorD             E minorEm
  Cause love it tries to bend
          Cadd9Cadd9
The breaking point within
           D MajorD
You won’t catch me waiting

          G+G
When I leave your key there on the nightstand
     D/F#D/F#
Lock the door so I can’t walk in
     E minorEm
And make sense of this
        Cadd9Cadd9
When there’s no sense to this
         G+G
When I break a window and cut my hand
      D/F#D/F#
Shattered glass, I’ll climb back in
     E minorEm
Lose my head again
          Cadd9Cadd9
And wonder where it ever went

       G+G   Cadd9Cadd9
Wonder where you went

Interlude: G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm Cadd9Cadd9 (2x)

G+G            [E minorEm
There’s times I can’t pretend
         Cadd9Cadd9
That I felt home again
      D MajorD
So I keep waiting

          G+G
When I leave your key there on the nightstand
     D/F#D/F#
Lock the door so I can’t walk in
     E minorEm
And make sense of this
        Cadd9Cadd9
When there’s no sense to this
        G+G
When I break a window and cut my hand
      D/F#D/F#
Shattered glass, I’ll climb back in
    E minorEm
Lose my head again
          Cadd9Cadd9
And wonder where it ever went
       G+G   D/F#D/F#
Wonder where we went
       E minorEm  Cadd9Cadd9
Wonder where we went

          G+G
When I leave your key there on the nightstand (Wonder where we went)
       D/F#D/F#
And lock the door so I can’t walk in
      E minorEm
And make sense of this (Wonder where we went)
         Cadd9Cadd9
Cause there’s no sense to this
