Verse 1:
C                     F                    C
    I see you've been out and it's hard to ignore
            F                            C
Not that it matters, cause who's keeping score?
          F                        Am       F
I'm doing fine I just finished the final episode
C                F                      C
    Watching without you I'm making the end
               F                    C
With no one to wake up and carry to bed
                   F                     Am              F
Not one for change but they tell me it's better down the road
Dm             G
    Is it a mistake
     Am            F
If I ask "are you awake "

But I hold myself back

Chorus 1:
C               F             G     C
    I know that love can only go so far
          F            G            C
We made a promise that night in the car
        F          G
Forever minding my manners
     Am             F
I'll never call you up
      G             C
But I wish that you would
F                   C        F
    I wish that you would

Verse 2:
C            F                       C
    Memories flashing in front of my eyes
           F                             C
I save the good and leave the bad ones behind
             F                       Am              F
Watch from a distance but I'm always searching for a sign
C                 F                   C
    You're like a habit I'm trying to break but
                F                          C
I throw out the pills that they want me to take
            F                         Am                F
One for the heartache and one for the thoughts I can't erase
Dm                 G
    What if I told you
          Am            F
I've been living in the past

And I hold myself back

I'll never call you up
      G             C
But I wish that you would

Bridge:
             C/E        F
If I get the words just right
         C      G/B       Am
Will you read between the lines
                    C/E    F
'Cause I don't know how to ask
      G
But I can't
                    C
I can't hold myself back
