D#/G      Fm                            G#
You're so quiet over there, across the sea
               C#        Fm                  G#
It's not like you, to be out of touch, more than
a week
      D#/G    Fm                        G#
And I had to stop myself, from reachin' out
                 C#          Fm               G#
'Cause you know how I get so riddled, with doubt
                C#     Fm          G#         D#sus4
It's not up to you to build me up, each time I fall
                C#         D#sus4  D#
It's not up to you, anymore

Chorus:
A#m7      G#/C          C#      D#sus4
But I hope your days are, filled with happiness
A#m7      G#/C          C#      D#sus4
And I hope my name never, tastes of bitterness
A#m7      G#/C          C#     D#sus4
And I hope who loves you, knows what they found
A#m7      G#/C           C#
I have to learn to go without
D#sus4            G#
If this is it now

It's nearly 9AM on the other side
You'll be gettin' up to start your day,
in a little while
And I wonder what's the first thing on your mind
As you come around and wipe the sleep
from your eyes
But it's not up to me, to hear your dreams
Or be your wake up call
It's not up to me, anymore

Chorus - x2
