[Intro]

G, Bm/F#, Cadd9, D


[Verse]

 G                         Bm/F#             Cadd9           D
Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
           G                     Bm/F#
It's been seven months and counting

You've moved on
              Cadd9          D
I still feel exactly the same
               G                        Bm/F#
It's just that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name
    Cadd9                          D
Like photographs and memories of love
G                       Bm/F#
Steel and granite reminders
                    Cadd9                  D
The city calls your name and I can't move on


[Chorus]

Cadd9                    D
Ever since you've been gone
                       Cadd9
The lights go out the same
                      D
The only difference is
                    Em
You call another name

To your love
         Bm/F#    Cadd9
To your lover now
             D
To your love
             G     Bm/F#   Cadd9  D
The lover after me


[Verse]

G                     Bm/F#
Am I all alone in the universe?
           Cadd9             D
There's no love on these streets
        G                   Bm/F#             Cadd9         D
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway
    G                 Bm/F#
So this is my new freedom
           Cadd9                    D
It's funny I don't remember being chained
     G                            Bm/F#
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
            Cadd9                  D
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late


[Chorus]

Cadd9                    D
Ever since you've been gone
                       Cadd9
The lights go out the same
                      D
The only difference is
                   Em
You call another name

To your love
         Bm/F#    Cadd9
To your lover now
             D
To your love
             Cadd9   D
The lover after me


[Bridge]

                        Cadd9  D
And as time goes by so slowly
                        Cadd9
The nights are cold and lonely
                D
I shouldn't be holding on
              Cadd9            D     G    Bm/F#  Cadd9   D    G   Bm/F#   Cadd9   D   G
But I'm still holding on for you


[Pre-Chorus]

 G                          Bm/F#               Cadd9            D
Here I go again, I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
          G                  Bm/F#
But I'm standing at your doorway
                    Cadd9                       D
I'm calling out your name because I can't move on


[Chorus]

Cadd9                    D
Ever since you've been gone
                       Cadd9
The lights go out the same
                      D
The only difference is
                   Em
You call another name

To your love
         Bm/F#    Cadd9
To your lover now
              D
To your love
             Cadd9
The lover after me


                         D
Ever since you've been gone
                       Cadd9
The lights go out the same
                      D
The only difference is
                   Em
You call another name

To your love
         Bm/F#    Cadd9
To your lover now
              D
To your love
            G       Bm/F#
The lover after me
               Cadd9   D   G
