D# G#
When it all began was it
time that we asked for?
Wb G#
Or was it anything to feel
            D#       G#
complete forevermore?
Wanna see myself like
I used to back then
D# G#
But every time I
                  Fm
turn around I’m in

 D#     G#
LA again  Don’t take this for
granted that’s not how we
           D# G#
planned it I  know we’re
tearing these pages Before
                   Fm
we get to watch it unfold

Cm                    G#
Yeah it’s a long road
               Fm
You think your time
is running out
Cm               G#
Gotta be looking up
             A#
when it goes down

Chorus:
            D#
I know that I’ve seen better days
           Gm
Turned and looked the other way
         Cm
But with you I can’t see past
            G#      A#
the crystal ball To all we
            D#
ever wanted I can’t fight
                   G#
this disconnection You can
                     Cm
see my imperfection Still
                    A#
at least I’ll never be ungrateful

Opposite of here there’s a bold faced enemy
But sure enough, when I look up
It’s myself staring back at me
I’m not saying there’s a reason
Close it up and leave it, even though
We’d still be tearing the pages
Before the rest of it changes
So let’s go

‘Cause it’s a long road
You think your time is wearing thin
Remember to breathe out when you dive in
(Oh, when you dive in)

Chorus

           G#
I think my nights are my days
A#              G#          Cm Gm
I can feel you slipping away
   G#
So savor every moment
      A#   G#             Cm Gm
Don’t you stay in disarray
           G#
I think my nights are my days
A#              G#          Cm Gm
I can feel you slipping away
       G#
Can we savor every moment
A#      G#
Find ourselves along
        Cm   Gm
the way I confess

That it’s a long road
You think your time is running out
Gotta be looking up when it goes down

Chorus
