(Verse)
A   F#m                           E           D
         I stayed awake just long enough to see you.
         A        F#m     E             D            
Remember Winnipeg?          And feeling simpler back then?
A   F#m                            E            D
         I took a week off from my band and flew out.
         A       F#m      E       D                      E
It was a Saturday.      I saw you waiting by the plane.


(Chorus)
F#m      E           D          E
   I was always in a way just a long shot.
F#m      E            D
   I was never in the clear of that.
F#m      E            D        E
   I am lucky just to be a potential.
F#m           E             D
   But I will always make a mess of that.

   A    F#m  E   D
Of that
   A    F#m  E   D
Of that


(Half Verse)
A   F#m                       E         D
        I traded symmetry for everything   I loved.
          A          F#m   E     D
I took my feelings out and I had told you I was done.


(Bridge)
D E    F#m  A   D
I know your mistakes, does it bother you that 
D E      F#m   A    D
I found where they stay? Can I reach you yet?
D E      F#m  A  D
I stood up   so fast. And I let you down. It was the 
D     E     F#m  A  D
first time that I  heard, I that sound.

   D         E             F#m     A          D
It filled my head with the darkest shade of black. And I met you there.
  D          E             F#m     A          D                        E                    
I realized then that I was just a little sad.   And I left you there.


(Chorus)
F#m      E           D          E
   I was always in a way just a long shot.
F#m      E            D
   I was never in the clear of that.
F#m      E            D        E
   I am lucky just to be a potential.
F#m           E             D
   But I will always make a mess of that.  

F#m      E           D          E
   I was always in a way just a long shot.
F#m      E            D
   I was never in the clear of that.

   I am lucky just to be a potential.
F#m           E             D
   But I will always make a mess of that.

   But I will always make a mess of that.
