  C#                            A#m
Dressed up all in black like a widow
                     C#
Right beside but I'm burning
                           A#m
And I won't speak cos I'm learning
                   G#
What a waste of a warning
                         D#
I'm out my head but I'm sober

In the spotlight I'm stood right
next to you hurting
My heart aches like a fathers
I should go but I'm sorry
Well, I'm too close to you lately
And it feels wrong to be right here

Chorus:
                     C#
We could've had the world
                     A#m
We could've had each other
                         G#
But all that's said and done
                       D#
We're better off as strangers
                        C#
Now it's quiet when I sleep
                     A#m
It's quiet when I'm dreaming
                   G#
It's just another week
                  D#
To live without a feeling
                C# A#m C# A#m
The feeling of you

Like a spider spinning webs I got tangled
I got chains on my ankles
The penny drops when I miss ya
And I can't help but believe in
A second chance is misleading

And I'm scared that
All my memories turn black
It's you and me in a car crash
And what a shame that it's like that
I'm not sure that I'm over
To let it fade, well, I'm closer

Chorus:
We could've had the world
We could've had each other
But all that's said and done
We're better off as strangers
Now it's quiet when I sleep
It's quiet when I'm dreaming
It's just another week
To live without a feeling
The feeling of you
The feeling of you
