Verse 1:

Em                       Am
I got close to your skin
      D
While you were sleeping
Em          G                C     D 
I taste the salt on your hands
Em            G           C
I reached out to touch you
            D 
The morning light disarms you
Am               D
Won't you let me in?


Chorus:

G            Em
Oh-ooohh-oh-ohh
C             D
How long 'til your surrender?
G           Em 
Oh-ooohh-oh-ohh-ohh-oh
C             D
How long 'til your surrender?
Em
It's a long way
G
For heartbreak
         C              D
Let your heart wait and bleed
G                 Em
Oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh
C             D
How long 'til your surrender to me?

Em (2 measures)


Verse 2:

Em                      Am
I've become your shadow
              D
I'd love, but don't know how to
Em         G            C     D 
I'm always lost for words
Em              G           
You look like a thousand suns
C       D 
I wanna be the only one
Am                       D
Left when your day is done…


Chorus:

G            Em
Oh-ooohh-oh-ohh

How long 'til your surrender?
G           Em 
Oh-ooohh-oh-ohh-ohh-oh
C             D
How long 'til your surrender?
Em
It's a long way
G
For heartbreak
         C              D
Let your heart wait and bleed
G                 Em
Oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh
C             D
How long 'til your surrender…


Bridge:

Em
I can't have you close
   G
So I become a ghost
       Am
And I watch you
  D
I watch you…
Em
Maybe if you stay
G
We could die this way
        C
I won't stop you
        D
I won't sto-op yo-ou…
