Intro: E--B--F#m--A (x2)


Verse 1:
C#m
  Have I thought about 
What things in life mean to me? 
            B            C#m A
Is this how other people see? 
     C#m         B
Some sympathetic words would do 
     A          F#m              C#m
I'll reconsider what I thought I knew
                  B                E
But it's too long down the road to see


Chorus 1: 
E                E/G#        E         A
  I want nothing better than days of before 
    C#m    B   A
Now what's in store? 
    E                E/G#         E            A
and I can't say that I don't want it any other way 
  C#m     A          B
I guess I just can't say


Verse 2:
C#m                 B 
  I looked straight up all day 
    C#m                  A
And watched the twilight fade away
C#m          B               E
  Life moves way to fast for me
C#m                B
One small fraction of the truth 
A              F#m          C#m
Grew into what ended me and you
            B                E
It's almost what you did for me


Refrain: C#m (hold)

B                          C#m(hold)
  I can see things getting better
  B                      C#m(hold)
I know what it is that's holding me 
   B              F#m    E/G#     A
in place But it's such a waste of time
     F#m     E/G#   A
It's wasting all my time
  F#m    E/G#        A
A little word called indecision
F#m     E/G# A       E(hold) 
Nothing less than my best

Chorus 2:
E                E/G#        E         A
  I want nothing better than days of before 
    C#m    B   A
Now what's in store? 
    E                E/G#         E            A
and I can't say that I don't want it any other way 
C#m A     B      
I   can't say
    C#m-A-B   E(hold) 
goodbye
