         D                      A
I've had one of those bad dreams
              C
Where we're standing on your street
       Em                       F#m
I quit smoking those cigarettes
         G
But I'm never getting over it
            D                      A
And you're lookin' right through me
          C
Just like Shakespeare on a tragedy
         Em                       Bm
But our story, never finished it
            G
'Cause our love, we never finished it

Chorus:
           D           A/C#
I'm coming over tonight
               C                 B7
Knock on your door, just like before
            Em                              F#m
I need that look in your eyes (Look in your eyes)
                      A
'Cause we've had the loneliest time (Loneliest time)
             D
I'm thinking all through the night
                  A/C#
(All through the night)
           C                  B7
I could be yours, just like before
         Em         F#m
Rewrite another try
                     A
'Cause we've had the loneliest time

               G   F#m               Em
If you wanna try it,   if you wanna try me
               G      F#m                 Em
If you wanna try, love,  if you leave the light on
for me
               G   F#m              Em
If you wanna try it,  if you wanna try it
               A
If you wanna try, love

I've had more of those bad dreams
You were ten feet in front of me
I went runnin', but I couldn't catch
Just the shadow of your silhouette
Then you spoke the words to me
When you left, I still need to unpack it
Let's save "sorry" for another night
'Cause this time, love, we're gonna get it right

Chorus:
I'm comin' over tonight (Over tonight)
Knock on your door just like before
I need that look in your eyes (Look in your eyes)
'Cause we've had the loneliest time (Loneliest time)
I'm thinkin' all through the night
(All through the night)
I could be yours just like before
Rewrite another try
'Cause we've had the loneliest time

If you wanna try it
If you wanna try, love (If you wanna try me)
If you wanna try, love
If you wanna try me
(Baby, leave the light on for me)
If you wanna try it
If you leave the light on for me
(If you wanna try me)
I just need back into (If you wanna try, love)
I just need back into your life
(Baby, leave the light on for me)

What happened was we reached the moon
But lost in space,
I think we got there all too soon
But you know what? I'm comin' back for you, baby
I'm comin' back for you

And in the mornin'
Sun hits the water
Is this nirvana?
And in the mornin'
Sun hits the water
Is this nirvana?
And in the mornin'
Sun hits the water
Is this nirvana?
