B G#m F#
B G#m F#


Verse 1:
B      G#m        F#
 I used to fall asleep to you talking to me, I don't listen to anything now
B      G#m       F#
 Nothing to do with us, I'm just so tired of thinking about everything
B     G#m       F#
 I'm not afraid of being alone, I just don't know what to do with my time
B         G#m          F#
 Between you and me, I thought it would all last a little while longer

Chorus:
          E           C#m
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
          G#m         F#
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
          E             C#m
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
            G#m       F#
I think about you and wonder if you are awake


Verse 2:
B        G#m     F#
 You don't know anything, I think about you way more than anything else
B        G#m    F#
 I'm not that spiritual I still go out all the time to department stores
B      G#m      F#
 Everything I need, but none of this is getting me anywhere good
B        G#m        F#
 Between you and me I still fall apart at the thought of your voice


Chorus:
          E           C#m
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
          G#m         F#
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
          E             C#m
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
            G#m       F#
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
          E               C#m
And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me
          G#m        F#
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes
          E           C#m           G#m
Learning how not to cry every time there's another sad unbearable morning
           F#
But sometimes there's nothing I can do


Bridge:
    C#m
I can't help it
  G#m         F#        E
It's you that I think I hear in the quiet light
   C#m
Am I crazy?
  G#m            F#          E
You're nowhere near me, guess I don't know what I'm saying
   C#m      G#m          F#        E
Just call me, I'll come to where you are alone in the quiet light
  C#m           G#m
I'm always thinking you're behind me
      F#
And I turn around and you're always there


Chorus:
          E           C#m
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
          G#m         F#
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
          E             C#m
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
            G#m       F#
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
          E               C#m
And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me
          G#m        F#
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes
          E           C#m           G#m
Learning how not to cry every time there's another sad unbearable morning
           F#
But sometimes there's nothing I can do
