[Verse 1]
  C                          Em
I wrote you a letter to make myself feel better
      F                     C             G
To redeem some part of me I thought I had lost
       C                        Em
And we were a lost cause long before we fell apart
              F                   C           G
'Cause honey, I was too eager and you were too smart
      C                     Em
Yet I look for you in these empty rooms
         F                    C           G
You're a phone call away, I'm on the interstate
           C                   Em
And I been drinking cheap wine just to pass the time
    F                    C        G
I'm falling behind and it doesn't matter
        C   Em    F G
Who you are    to meee

C Em F C G x2


[Verse 2]
    C                       Em
I'm just like my mother, we both love to run
         F                    C        G
Chase impossible things or unreachable dreams
      C                         Em
Lie awake in the night thinking this can't be right
          F               C         G      C     Em
But there is no other way to live a life alone
      F G
I'm alone now

C Em F C G x2


[Verse 3]
     C           Em             F                  C  G
Then suddenly we wake from this dream that we have made
   C               Em               F      C  G
It hits you all at once and then it slowly fades
    C           Em              F          G
I'm racing into nothing now, it all falls away
  C               Em               F        C  G
I know it now for my own sake that I cannot stay
