Intro: E MajorE  AbmAbm (x2)


[Verse]
E MajorE
I wanna wake you up
AbmAbm
I can hardly hear my footsteps
E MajorE
In the falling darkness
AbmAbm
I can barely wait to see you
A augmentedA
In your apartment
          BB             AbmAbm                  (A augmentedA)
We were heading for the better times we wanted
A augmentedA                        BB
We were sorry that the distance
      AbmAbm                (E MajorE)
Took more than we prepared

E MajorE                                       (AbmAbm)
We could do it again (we could do it again)
AbmAbm
Just another ending this time
E MajorE                                       (AbmAbm)
Were you ever scared? (were you ever scared )
AbmAbm
Did you seek for reasons to get
A augmentedA                        BB
Far away from all the travelling
    AbmAbm                 (A augmentedA)
And talking on the phone?
A augmentedA                        BB
Can't you see it's only what we've been
AbmAbm                   (A augmentedA)
Can't you see the threats?


[Chorus]
BB
Can't you see your own obsessions?
C# minorC#m
Can't you see your count in this?
A augmentedA                  F# minorF#m
Can't you see I'm only happy
C# minorC#m
When you're in the house?
BB
You should know I'm only waiting
C# minorC#m
For the times we never had
A augmentedA                    F# minorF#m
You should know it's all because of
C# minorC#m
You're not in the house

[Verse, same chords as before]
I wanna say it straight (I wanna say it straight)
We could be whatever we dreamed
Something really good (something really good)
Just let yourself get to it
In your apartment
We were heading for the better times we wanted
We were sorry that the distance
Took more than we prepared


[Chorus, same as before]

Interlude ("You're not in the house..."):
F# minorF#m  A augmentedA  C# minorC#m  C# minorC#m  (x3)


[Chorus, same chords but different lyrics]
Can't you see we're going nowhere?
Can't you see your count in this?
Can't you see I'm only happy
When you're in the house?
Can't you see my only vision?
Can't you see I'm counting this?
You should know I can't be happy
Till you're in the house
