Bb5                          F5                G5
Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think
               Eb5
 of you today
            Bb5           
It's been seven months and counting
 F5
You've moved on
                G5             Eb5
I still feel exactly the same
                   Bb5 
It's just the that everywhere I go all the 
   F5
buildings know your name
         G5                       Eb5
Like photographs and memories of love
 Bb5                         F5
Steel and granite reminders
                     G5                   Eb5
The city calls your name and I can't move on

REFR?O


 Bb5              
Ever since you've been gone
F5
The lights go out the same
G5   
The only difference is
Eb5
You call another name
Bb5
To your love
          F5
To your lover now
G5
To your love
Eb5           Bb5      F5  G5  Eb5
The lover after me


Bb5                       F5
Am I all alone in the universe?
            G5                   Eb5
There's no love on these streets
        Bb5                    F5                G5
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want
            Eb5
 it anyway
   Bb5
So this is my new freedom
F5
It's funny
   G5                    Eb5
I don't remember being chained
      Bb5                          F5
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
            G5                    Eb5
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late

REFR?O


     F5                G5
And time goes by so slowly
      Eb5                  Bb5
The nights are cold and lonely
               F5
I shouldn't be holding on
                G5            Eb5   Bb5 F5  G5 Eb5
But I'm still holding on for you
Bb5
Here I go again
             F5                G5                Eb5
I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
          Bb5                     F5
But I'm standing at your doorway
                      G5                       Eb5
I'm calling out your name because I can't move on
