E
Will you recognise me,
         C#m
In the flashing lights,
  G#m
I try to keep my heart clean,
       F#
But I can't get it right
E
Will you recognise me,
          C#m
When I'm lying on my back,
G#m
Something's gone inside me,
       F#
And I can't get it back

E
Oh heaven, oh heaven,
C#m
I wake with good intentions
B              F#                C#
But the day it always lasts too long
(then I'm gone)
E
Oh heaven, oh heaven,
C#m
I wake with good intentions
B              F#                C#
But the day it always lasts too long
(then I'm gone)

Chorus:
          E
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone
          C#m
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone
         G#m
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone
         F#
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

Will you recognize me
When I'm stealing from the poor?
You're not gonna like me
I'm nothing like before
Will you recognize me
When I lose another friend?
Will you learn to leave me?
Oh, give me one more try again

Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wake with good intentions
But the day, it always lasts too long
Then I'm gone
Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wake with good intentions
But the day, it always lasts too long
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Chorus

Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wake with good intentions
Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wake with good intentions
Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wake with good intentions
You say that you will wait
I try, but always break
'Cause the day always lasts too long

Chorus:
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
