Chorus:
                                A      D  A
I broke the speed limit to get to you
                                 F#m   F#m7
I took a road where there was no road
                            D
Lost my keys and common sense
                               E
Jumped the gun to jump the fence
                    A  D  A
Just to find you gone

Verse 1:
                                 A     D  A
I turned the lights off in the kitchen
                            F#m7
I took the needle out the groove
                            D
Dropped the roses in the sink
                            E
Woke up cold and on the brink
                    A  D  A
Just to find you gone

Pre-Chorus:
Dmaj7
Nobody told us
     E
This weight on our shoulders
F#m7
Would keep us apart
Em7      D
From the morning through the dark
    Bm7
If love is a door
        C#m
That we walk through together
D                               E
Then how come we can't find the key?

Chorus:
                                  A     D  A
I broke the speed limit to get to you
                           F#m   F#m7
I cut a valley through the rain
                      D
Held a vigil at the bar
                     E
Little candle in a jar
                    A  D  A
Just to find you gone

Post-Chorus:
D
Nobody told us
     E
This weight on our shoulders
F#m7           Em7
Would keep us apart
         D
From the morning through the dark
Bm            Bm7
If love is a door
        C#m
That we walk through together
D                                E
Then how come we can't find the key?

Instrumental Bridge:
A F#m D E A D A

Pre-Chorus:
D
Nobody told us
     E
This weight on our shoulders
F#m7           Em7
Would keep us apart
         D
From the morning through the dark
Bm            Bm7
If love is a door
        C#m
That we walk through together
D                                E
Then how come we can't find the key?

Chorus:
                                A      D  A
I broke the speed limit to get to you
                                   F#m   F#m7
I took a road where there was no road
         F#m             D
We don't ever get it right
                           E
Couple sailboats in the night
               F#m7      A
Drifting all alone
                          D
All the places that we went
                         E
I went back to them again
                A
Just find you gone
