C9             G/B 
I hear the clock it's six a.m 
  C                  Em 
I feel so far from where I've been 
 C9           G/B 
I got my eggs and my pancakes too 
  C                  Em  
I got my maple syrup, everything but you. 
  C9             G/B 
I break the yolks, make a smiley face 
   C                 Em 
I kinda like it in my brand new place 
   C9                
I wipe the spots off the mirror 
   G/B 
Don't leave the keys in the door 
   C                     D 
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause

Chorus: 
C          D 
Dreams laaast so long 
G      D           Em 
even after you're gone 
C      D 
I know you love me 
    G     D  Em 
And soon you will see 
C 
You were meant for me 
D                   Em 
And I was meant for you.

C9              G/B 
I called my momma, she was out for a walk 
C                            Em 
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk 
C9                   G/B 
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news 
C                           Em 
More hearts being broken or people being used 
C9             G/B 
Put on my coat in the pouring rain 
C                     Em 
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same 
C9              G/B 
'Cause it was happy and I was sad 
C                   D 
It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause 
-------------------------------------------------------- 
Chorus 
 

C          D  
Dreams laaast so long 
G      D           Em 
Even after you're gone 
C      D 
I know you love me 
G        D        Em 
And soon you will see 
C  
You were meant for me 
   D                Em 
And I was meant for you

BRIDGE 
Am                      D 
I go about my business, I'm doin fine 
Em  (hold )                    D 
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line 
Am              D 
Same old story, not much to say 
Em (hold) 
Hearts are broken, everyday. 
-------------------------------------------------------- 
 
C9                G/B 
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on 
C                         Em 
I know you hate it when I leave the light on 
C9             G/B 
I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down. 
C                        Em 
Take a deep breath and a good look around 
C9             G/B 
Put on my pjs and hop into bed 
C                    Em 
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead 
C9                       G/B 
I try and tell myself it'll be all right 
C                      D 
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause 
-------------------------------------------------------- 

C        D 
Dreams last so long 
G     D         Em 
Even after you're gone 
C      D 
I know you love me 
G         D          Em 
And soon I know you will see 
C 
You were meant for me 
D                   Em 
And I was meant for you

N.C.- C                       D                Em
