VERSE
Ab                  Cm
So many years spent running away

How many times I wished I could stay
Ab                 Cm

Feeling alone since we've been apart
    C#   Ab
And if I had the chance

I'd never let you go

Just want you to know

So many nights spent here by the phone

Wonderin' if you felt just as alone
