        D#
Do you think of me
            Gm
When you're in California alone
       Cm                                  G#
It's a lonely place at the best of times, Lord knows
        D#
I won't lie to you
   Gm
I could have given you more
     Cm
But life got fast
                       G#
Good things don't last anymore

D#
Now and then you cross my mind
   Gm
It takes me back to a sweeter time
      Cm       Cm/A#
But I let it go
   G#
I let you go

Chorus:
            D#
'Til I wake up in the morning, you're all that I see
     A#
You run through my head, in and out of my dreams
Cm
Breathe for a minute, try and focus on me
       G#
But I can't think of anyone else
        D#
Now my heart is broken and I'm crying on the floor
    A#
And every part of me hopes you walk through the door
           Cm
But you're not here, baby
                        G#
And I can't love anyone else
     A#           D#
'Til I forgive myself

Did you lie to me⁠
When you said I was all that you need⁠?
Guess we'll never know all
the beautiful things we could be

Now and then you cross my mind
It takes me back to a sweeter time
But I let it go
I let you go

Chorus:
'Til I wake up in the morning, you're all that I see
You run through my head, in and out of my dreams
Breathe for a minute, try and focus on me
But I can't think of anyone else
Now my heart is broken and I'm crying on the floor
And every part of me hopes you walk through the door
But you're not here, baby
And I can't love anyone else
'Til I forgive myself, ooh
'Til I forgive myself, ooh
'Til I wake up in the morning, you're all that I see
You run through my head, in and out of my dreams
Breathe for a minute, try and focus on me
But I can't think of anyone else
Now my heart is broken and I'm crying on the floor
And every part of me hopes you walk through the door
But you're not here, baby
And I can't love anyone else
'Til I forgive myself
