G#
I pack my case. I check my face.
                    D#
I look a little bit older.
                     A#
I look a little bit colder.
     G#
With one deep breath, and one big step,
                      D#
I move a little bit closer.
                      A#
I move a little bit closer.

     G#
For reasons unknown.
I caught my stride.
I flew and flied.
           D#
I know if destiny's kind,
              A#         Bdim7
I've got the rest on my mind.

        Cm
But my heart, it don't beat,
          G#
it don't beat the way it used to.
        D#                          A# Bdim7
And my eyes, they don't see you no more.
        Cm
And my lips, they don't kiss,
            G#
they don't kiss the way they used to,
       D#                           A# Bdim7
and my eyes don't recognize you no more.

Chorus:
     D#        Fm  Cm A#
For reasons unknown;
     D#        Fm  Cm A#
for reasons unknown

There was an open chair
We sat down in the open chair
I said if destiny’s kind,
I’ve got the rest of my mind

But my heart, it don’t beat,
it don’t beat the way it used to
And my eyes, they don’t see you no more
And my lips, they don’t kiss,
they don’t kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don’t recognize you at all

Chorus

I said my heart, it don't beat,
it don't beat the way it used to
and my eyes don't recognize you no more.
And my lips, they don't kiss,
they don't kiss the way they used to,
and my eyes don't recognize you no more.

Chorus - x2
