Slow down, don't leave so fast

Falling through the hourglass alone
C#m F#
No I don't wanna live without you
Chorus:
B F#
When my memory fades, and my hair turns grey
C#m E F#
You'll still be in every day dream, and the records that I play

And one of these days, you'll be on to someone new

But I won't ever get over you

But I can't find you anywhere at all

The way I let you leave

Wondering where you were going

Got that moment on repeat
G#m F#
I'm still thinking about it
E F#
I'm still thinking about you now
Chorus:
B F#
When my memory fades, and my hair turns grey
