Bb                          F                Gm
Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think
               Eb
 of you today
            Bb           
It's been seven months and counting
 F
You've moved on
                Gm             Eb
I still feel exactly the same
                   Bb 
It's just the that everywhere I go all the 
   F
buildings know your name
         Gm                       Eb
Like photographs and memories of love
 Bb                         F
Steel and granite reminders
                     Gm                   Eb
The city calls your name and I can't move on

REFR?O


 Bb              
Ever since you've been gone
F
The lights go out the same
Gm   
The only difference is
Eb
You call another name
Bb
To your love
          F
To your lover now
Gm
To your love
Eb           Bb      F  Gm  Eb
The lover after me


Bb                       F
Am I all alone in the universe?
            Gm                   Eb
There's no love on these streets
        Bb                    F                Gm
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want
            Eb
 it anyway
   Bb
So this is my new freedom
F
It's funny
   Gm                    Eb
I don't remember being chained
      Bb                          F
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
            Gm                    Eb
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late

REFR?O


     F                Gm
And time goes by so slowly
      Eb                  Bb
The nights are cold and lonely
               F
I shouldn't be holding on
                Gm            Eb   Bb F  Gm Eb
But I'm still holding on for you
Bb
Here I go again
             F                Gm                Eb
I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
          Bb                     F
But I'm standing at your doorway
                      Gm                       Eb
I'm calling out your name because I can't move on
