Lie in bed and watch TV.

G                   E         G                     E
I know that you're hurting too, I know you're all alone.

I know that you're coming back, I worked it out wrong.

I worked it out wrong.

I'll be silent, I'll be strong
I'll wait for you to come to me
And I know it won't be long

No nothing means nothing, when you're gone.

Baby I'm lonely and I'm sorry, I was wrong.

Worked it out wrong, I worked it out wrong.

Chorus:
I know that you're hurting too, I know you're all alone
I know that you're coming back, I worked it out wrong
Worked it out wrong

Time, time means nothing
No nothing, means nothing when you're gone
I'm lonely and I'm sorry
I was wrong
Worked it out wrong
I worked it out wrong
I worked it out wrong
