Verse 1:
C#m
What do you mean that you don't know
C#m
It's obvious you think you do
C#m
You think it's best to choose loneliness
C#m
Afraid of what's right in front of you
A
Ohhhhh
                     C#m
What can I do when you turn away except close the door
C#m
Figure out how I'm gonna try again
C#m
Play it through to be with you
C#m
But alone again is how it's gonna end
A
Ohhhhh

Pre-Chorus:
C#m
Making my moves so carefully
C#m
Feel it when you stare at me
C#m
Making my moves so carefully
C#m
Feel it when you stare at me
A
Making my moves so carefully
A
Feel it when you stare at me
A
Making my moves so carefully
A
Feel it when you stare at me


Chorus:
C#m                   A
We could have been so long
A
But I guess you'll never find out
A
But I guess you'll never find out


Verse 2:
C#m
I can't do anything that would say
C#m
It won't be the same as yesterday
C#m
Say you're afraid to be with me
C#m
And I just pray you let the fear go away
A
Ohhhhh
    C#m
And I can't see you as a friend
C#m
So now I know how this has got to end
C#m
Make it so nobody wins
C#m
Ending this before it begins
A       B
Ohhhhh


Pre-Chorus:
C#m
Making my moves so carefully
C#m
Feel it when you stare at me
C#m
Making my moves so carefully
C#m
Feel it when you stare at me
A
Making my moves so carefully
A
Feel it when you stare at me
A
Making my moves so carefully
A
Feel it when you stare at me


Chorus:
C#m                   A
We could have been so long
A
But I guess you'll never find out
A
But I guess you'll never find out

|C#m |C#m |C#m |C#m |
|A   |A   |

A
But I guess you'll never find out
A
But I guess you'll never find out

We could have been so long

We could have been so long
