D#m                        F#
I've been waiting for the sky to fall
       C#            G#
For so long, for so long
D#m                  F#
I admit that for a know it all,
           C#         G#
I've been wrong, so wrong

D#m           F#
I've worn so many faces
C#                   G#                D#m
All the colors I've been when I'm with you
          F#
I wish I could switch places
 C#                        G#
With the one that you gave your heart to!

Chorus:
D#m
I'm still working it out
F#
what I'm doing without
C#                                     G#
you I'm lost, that's what I found I'm hopeless
and I need you now.
D#m
Had my head in the clouds,
F#
my dreams water down
      C#                             G#
It's not until you're not around and I know
that I need you now - x2

I've been waiting for a miracle
Since I was young, since I was young
What I had I didn't recognise
'Til it's gone, 'til it's gone

I've worn so many faces
All the colours I've been when I'm with you
I wish I could switch places
With the one that you gave your heart to

Chorus - x2

I've worn so many faces
All the colours I've been when I'm with you
I've tried to fill the spaces
All the pieces still don't add up to you

Chorus - x2

I'm still working it out
I'm still working it out
I'm still working it out
I'm still working it out
I'm still working it out
