Em                       Am
 I got close to your skin
      D
While you were sleeping
Em          G                C  D
 I taste the salt on your hands
Em            G            C
 I reached out to touch you
            D
The morning light disarms you
Am        D
Won't you let me in?

Refrão:
G           Em
Oh-ooohh-oh-ohh
C              D
 How long 'til your surrender?
G           Em
Oh-ooohh-oh-ohh-ohh-oh
C              D
 How long 'til your surrender?
       Em
It's a long way
    G
For heartbreak
         C              D
Let your heart wait and bleed
G                 Em
Oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh
C              D
 How long 'til your surrender to me?

Em (2x)

Parte 2:
Em          Am
 I've become your shadow
D
 I'd love, but don't know how to
Em          G           C  D
 I'm always lost for words
Em               G
 You look like a thousand suns
C        D
 I wanna be the only one
Am                    D
Left when your day is done…

Refrão:
G           Em

 How long 'til your surrender?
       Em
It's a long way
    G
For heartbreak
         C              D
Let your heart wait and bleed
G             Em
Oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh
C              D
 How long 'til your surrender…

Ponte:
Em
I can't have you close
   G
So I become a ghost
      Am
And I watch you
  D
I watch you…
Em
Maybe if you stay
G
We could die this way
         C
I won't stop you
         D
I won't stop you…
