Verse 1:
Gm                       Bb
  Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Cm                                          Gm
  Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
                Bb
Every drop is a waterfall
Cm
  Every breath is a break in the riptide

Pre-chorus:
Eb            Dm
  Oh, how long has it been?
 F
I don't know

Chorus:
(nc)                  Gm
But it feels like an eternity
Bb              Eb
Since I had you here with me
               Gm
Since I had to learn to be
Bb                Eb
Someone you don't know (Oh)
                  Gm
To be with you in paradise
Bb              Eb
What I wouldn't sacrifice
                  Gm
Why'd you have to chase the light
Bb                Eb
Somewhere I can't go?
                      Gm  Bb Eb
As I walk this world alone
                      Gm  Bb Eb
As I walk this world alone

Verse 2:
Gm                        Bb
  Another glimpse of what could've been (Ooh-ooh)
Cm
  Another dream, another way that it never was
Gm                    Bb
  Falling back in the wilderness (Ooh-ooh)
Cm
  Waking up, rubbing salt in the cut

Pre-chorus:
Eb            Dm
  Oh, how long has it been?
 F
I don't know

Chorus:
(nc)                  Gm
But it feels like an eternity
Bb              Eb
Since I had you here with me
               Gm
Since I had to learn to be
Bb                Eb
Someone you don't know
                  Gm
To be with you in paradise
Bb              Eb
What I wouldn't sacrifice
                  Gm
Why'd you have to chase the light
Bb                Eb
Somewhere I can't go?
                      Gm  Bb Eb
As I walk this world alone
                      Gm  Bb Eb
As I walk this world alone  (Alone, Alone)

Bridge:
        Eb                    F
It's an endless night, it's a starless sky
       Gm
It's a hell that I call home (Hell that I call home)
       Eb                  F
It's a long goodbye on the other side (Ooh)
       Gm          F
Of the only life I know

Chorus:
(nc)                  Gm
And it feels like an eternity
Bb              Eb
Since I had you here with me
               Gm
Since I had to learn to be
Bb                Eb
Someone you don't know (Oh)
                  Gm
To be with you in paradise
Bb              Eb
What I wouldn't sacrifice
                  Gm
Why'd you have to chase the light
Bb                Eb
Somewhere I can't go?
                      Gm  Bb Eb
As I walk this world alone
                      Gm  Bb Eb
As I walk this world alone
