Lyrics: (Jaime Lacey's part included now)
N.C.
I found how to get to her now.
I'll whisper in her ear when she's asleep,
And beg her to love me,
When the morning comes she'll never know.
'Cause right now, I think I'm on my way out.
Yeah, I've been tying bells to window screens,
So I can hear her leave in the morning,
But it never helps.
N.C.
(And I'll never know)
Where you like to go when you're all alone,
And why you can't be reached,
Does anybody know?
You're breaking up again,
Are you listening to anything I've said?
N.C E
Tell me where you are and I'll find you.
Esus2
Tell me what it takes to see this through.
A
Tell me what it takes t0 get to you,
Esus2 A Esus2
And I'll be there waiting.
N.C.
She sees through any move that I use.
See I've been falling head over her heels,
So when she disappears, she knows I'll be here waiting up.
So I'll vow the moment that she leaves town,
Yeah, I'll be hopping trains to get away and try to save face,
But I know it's never far enough.
N.C.
(Still I'll never know)
Where you like to go when you're all alone,
(Tell me why)
And why you can't be reached,
Does anybody know?
You're breaking up again,
Are you listening to anything I've said?
N.C. E
Tell me where you are and I'll find you.
Esus2
Tell me what it takes to see this through.
A
Tell me what it takes to get to you,
Esus2 A
And I'll be there waiting.
E Esus2 A E A
Waiting, for you to come home,
(Don't tell me that, when alone I sat, waiting at home)
Esus2 E A
For word you're not gone
(Don't hold your breath, I'm not coming back, I'm already gone)
Esus2 A Esus2
I'm praying that you'll answer when I ask you,
(After all we had, if you have to ask, you already know)
E
That you'll answer when I ask you.
(You already know)
E Esus2
Tell me where you are and I'll find you.
E
Tell me what it takes to see this through.
A
Tell me what it takes to get to you,
Esus2
And I'll be there,
E
I'll be there, (waiting)
(Don't tell me that, when alone I sat, waiting at home)
Esus2
I'll be there, (waiting)
(Don't hold your breath, I'm not coming back, I'm already gone)
A
Tell me what it takes to get to you,
(After all we had, if you have to ask, you already know)
E Esus2
And I'll be there waiting.
N.C.
(Waiting, waiting)
(You already know, you already know, you already know)
