Em Bm A
Your bitter goodbye is ringing through this quiet night,
Em
This idle hour just wont pass
Bm A
I've never missed you this much, never thought I would,
Em
Didn't think you'd feel this far away
Bm A
Your summer perfume is still blowing through this hallway,
Em
Autumn's amber red shadows dance
Bm A
I miss our midnight rides on highway 18, 18 is gone
Chorus.
Em Bm A Em
So go past the lights and all the excuses
Bm A
You could have left "sincerely yours"
Em Bm A
Don't you think it's obvious that I want to say more?
C# Bm
Cause anything too daring to say to you,
A Will be said in this letter, then burn it away
So you never realize, I'm here

C#
I'm thinking of your vague reply
A
So I can understand
C#
Why we put this at rest
A
Why we forget to
C#
Say that we were leaving
A
Say that I was sorry
C#
The past remains unspoken
A
As this vacant night is dieing
Em Bm A
But I still miss your summer perfume
Em Bm
This cold air brings such a distance to us
A
Such a painful distance
C#
I'm still waiting for you to say you hate me now
A
So I don't have to hold on to this burning heart
C# Bm
This burning heart is getting old, is getting old
C# Bm
While sitting on this cold kitchen floor,
Head down to hide the tears,
A
I've realized. I’ve finally realized that you were never,
You were never meant for me
