Intro:
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


Outro:
E C#m G#m F#
