Cadd9 G6 C Em   (2x)

Cadd9             G/B
I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
C                  Em
I feel so far from where I've been
Cadd9                    G/B
I got my eggs.  I got my pancakes too
C                     D
I got my maple syrup, everything but you
Cadd9                     G/B
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
C                     Em
I kinda like it in my brand new place Wipe the
 Cadd9                                                      G/B
spots off of the mirror don't leave the keys in the door
C                            D
I never put my towels on the floor anymore 'cause


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


Cadd9                                       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 so I
Cadd9                                G/B
Picked up a paper, it was more bad news
C                                                  D
More hearts being broken or people being used
Cadd9                         G/B
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
C                                    Em
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
       Cadd9                            G/B
'Cause it was happy oh I was sad and
C                                    D
It made me miss you oh so bad

Go about my business, I'm doing fine Besides,
 Bm                   D                       C   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
  Cadd9            G/B
I pick a book up.  Turn the sheets down.

Take a deep breath and a good look around
