B G#m F# I used to fall asleep to you talking to me, I don't listen to anything now Nothing to do with us I'm just so tired of thinking about everything I'm not afraid of being alone I just don't know what to do with my time Between you and me, I thought it would all last a little while longer Chorus: E C#m But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light G#m F# While I watch the sky go from black to grey E C#m Learning how not to die inside a little every time G#m F# I think about you and wonder if you are awake You don't know anything I think about you way more than anything else I'm not that spiritual I still go out all the time to department stores Everything I need, but none of this is getting me anywhere good Between you and me I still fall apart at the thought of your voice Chorus: But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light While I watch the sky go from black to grey Learning how not to die inside a little every time I think about you and wonder if you are awake And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes Learning how not to cry every time there's another sad unbearable morning But sometimes there's nothing I can do C#m I can't help it G#m F# E It 's you that I think I hear in the quiet light C#m Am I crazy? G#m F# You're nowhere near me, guess I don't know what E I'm saying C#m G#m F# Just call me, I'll come to where you are alone E in the quiet light C#m G#m I'm always thinking you're behind me B F# And I turn around and you're always there Chorus: But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light While I watch the sky go from black to grey Learning how not to die, inside a little every time I think about you and wonder if you are awake And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes Learning how not to cry every time there's another sad unbearable morning But sometimes there's nothing I can do You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#m  E  F#  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
