[Intro]

G, Bm/F#, Cadd9, D MajorD

[Verse]

 G+G             Bm/F#       Cadd9Cadd9      D MajorD
Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
      G+G           Bm/F#
It's been seven months and counting

You've moved on
       Cadd9Cadd9     D MajorD
I still feel exactly the same
        G+G            Bm/F#
It's just that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name
  Cadd9Cadd9             D MajorD
Like photographs and memories of love
G+G            Bm/F#
Steel and granite reminders
          Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD
The city calls your name and I can't move on


[Chorus]

Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD
Ever since you've been gone
            Cadd9Cadd9
The lights go out the same
           D MajorD
The only difference is
          E minorEm
You call another name

To your love
     Bm/F#  Cadd9Cadd9
To your lover now
       D MajorD
To your love
       G+G   Bm/F#  Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
The lover after me

[Verse]

G+G           Bm/F#
A minorAm I all alone in the universe?
      Cadd9Cadd9       D MajorD
There's no love on these streets
    G+G          Bm/F#       Cadd9Cadd9     D MajorD
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway
  G+G         Bm/F#
So this is my new freedom
      Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD
It's funny I don't remember being chained
   G+G              Bm/F#
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
      Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late


[Chorus]

Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD
Ever since you've been gone
            Cadd9Cadd9
The lights go out the same
           D MajorD
The only difference is
          E minorEm
You call another name

To your love
     Bm/F#  Cadd9Cadd9
To your lover now
       D MajorD
To your love
       Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD
The lover after me


[Bridge]

            Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
And as time goes by so slowly
            Cadd9Cadd9
The nights are cold and lonely
        D MajorD
I shouldn't be holding on
       Cadd9Cadd9      D MajorD   G+G  Bm/F# Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD  G+G  Bm/F#  Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD  G+G
But I'm still holding on for you


[Pre-Chorus]

 G+G             Bm/F#        Cadd9Cadd9      D MajorD
Here I go again, I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
     G+G         Bm/F#
But I'm standing at your doorway
          Cadd9Cadd9            D MajorD
I'm calling out your name because I can't move on


[Chorus]

Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD
Ever since you've been gone
            Cadd9Cadd9
The lights go out the same
           D MajorD
