C#                                      G#/C
I wonder if you think I'm still right there
When you make up your mind
F#
Slower than the changing of the seasons
C#                              G#/C
Wouldn't you know I've come to terms?
                        F#
That you wouldn't even care if
                                   G#
I choked up and stopped my breathing

A#sus2                C#
This isn't something more than life
F#
I hope my calender breaks tonight
A#sus2      C#      F#
Before the morning comes
   G#
I hope you know that

Chorus:
C#
We’re indifferent
To this deadly conversation
F#
I know you know
We both know that it's wrong
C#
To stay outside
Like ships in the night
F#
I know you know
We both know that it's wrong
A#sus2 G# F#
So carry on

I wonder if you think I'm wasting time
I bet you got it all figured out
But must we try to break the ice beneath
this heart of mine
I was perfectly lonely
I want you to show me
How'd you ever change my mind
When I was the same kid?

This isn't something more than life
I hope my calendar breaks tonight
Before the morning comes

Chorus

So don't you ever say my name
When it comes to who keeps you sane
I know that you're already gone
'Cause when reality sets in place
You'll be showing the world your second face
And we can carry on
I hope you know

We're indifferent to this deadly conversation
I know, you know, we both know, that it's wrong
To stay outside like ships in the night
I know, you know, we both know, that it's wrong
This isn't something more than life
I hope my calendar breaks tonight
Before the morning comes
Before the morning comes
