C                             G 
Of the words that all've been spoken, 
            F                    C 
somehow the feeling still wasn't right, 
F            Am        G              F     C 
and still we continued on through the night. 
                             G 
Tracing our steps from the beginning, 
          F                 C 
till they vanished into the air. 
F                        Am       G          F     C 
Trying to understand how our live had let us fail. 
 
F            Am                        G      F        G 
Looking hard into your eyes, there was nobody I'd ever known. 
              F        Am         G 
Such an empty surprise to feel so alone. 
 
        C                   G 
Now for me, some words come easy 
                F                    C 
but I know that they don't mean that much, 
F                 Am                   G           C 
compared with the things that they say when lovers touch. 
C                        G 
You'll never knew what I loved in you, 
             F                 C 
I don't know what you loved in me. 
F                        Am            G                 F     C 
Maybe the picture of somebody you will hope that I might be. 
 
F              Am                  G         C G 
Awake again, I can't pretend and I know I am alone. 
    F            Am                       G C G 
And close to the end of the feeling we've known. 
F                    C 
How long have I been sleeping? 
F                    Am         G               C 
How long have I been drifting alone through the night? 
F                    Am 
How long have I been dreaming I 
G                        C 
could make it right if I close my eyes 
        F                           Am 
and try with all my might to be the one you need ... 
 
F              Am                  G         C G 
Awake again, I can't pretend and I know I am alone. 
    F            Am                       G C G 
And close to the end of the feeling we've known. 
F                    C 
How long have I been sleeping? 
F                    Am         G               C 
How long have I been drifting alone through the night? 
F                    Am 
How long have I been running for 
G                                          C 
that morning flight through the whispering promises 
       F                     C                 G 
in the changing light of the bed where we both lie, 
             C 
late for the sky.
