E
Two weeks away, feels like the whole
world should have changed
         B
But I'm home now and things still look the same
E
I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack
           B
Try to forget for one more night that
I'm back in my flat

E
On the road where the cars never stop
Going through the night
     B
To a life where I can't watch the sunset
             C#m                G#m F#
I don't have time, I don't have time

Chorus:
C#m                         B
I've still got sand in my shoes
            F#
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to?
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused
    E  B              F#
But I wanna see you again

Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity
Should run a bath and then clear up the mess
I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that I was happy here before
I knew that I could get on a plane and fly away

From the road where the cars never stop
Going through the night
To a life where I can watch the sunset
And take my time, take all our time

Chorus

I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

Two weeks away, all it takes
To change and turn me around I've fallen
I walked away and never said
That I wanted to see you again

Chorus - x2

I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
