Please open the door
      G+G              E MajorE
Nothing is different we've been here before
E/D     A minorAm       D MajorD
Pacing these halls trying to talk
     Gsus4Gsus4 G+G FF E minorEm
Over the silence
  C majorC          FF
And pride sticks out his tongue
       G+G         E MajorE
Laughs at the portrait that we become
E/D    A minorAm       D MajorD
Stuck in a frame unable to change
   Gsus4Gsus4 G+G FF E minorEm
I was wrong

  C majorC      FF     G+G
I'm late but I'm here right now
     E MajorE    E/D A minorAm
Though I used to be romantic

I forgot somehow
     FF  G+G    C majorC
Time can make you blind
   FF    G+G
But I see you now
     E MajorE   E/D  A minorAm
As we're laying in the darkness

Did I wait too long

Here stuck on a hill
     G+G            E MajorE
Outsiders inside the home that we bulit
  E/D     A minorAm         D MajorD
The cold settles in it's been a long winter
   Gsus4Gsus4 G+G FF E minorEm
Of indifference
       C majorC         FF
And maybe you love me maybe you don't
       G+G           E MajorE
Maybe you'll learn to and maybe you won't

You've had enough but I won't give up

On you

And I'm trying to find the magic
    D MajorD    Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
That we lost somehow
   FF G+G  C majorC
Maybe I was blind

But I see you now
     E MajorE   E/D  A minorAm
As we're laying in the darkness

Won't you tell me how

I can't read your mind

But I see you now

As we're laying in the darkness
