Intro: Bbmaj7 Cm7 F7

Verse 1:
Bbmaj7                    Ebmaj7
I can't say that I saw it coming
         F7                 Bbmaj7
But it's true that I wasn't surprised
                              Cm7   F7
Never made much sense of your heavy sigh


Bbmaj7                              Ebmaj7
And I wish that you could have said something
         F7                      Bbmaj7
'Cause I know what you've had to disguise
                                          Cm7   F7
Can you crack a smile, and pretend you're fine?

Pre-Chorus:
      Cm7
Is it true?
                    Bbmaj7
You've been away so long
    Cm7
You withdrew
                     F7
And couldn't bear to talk about it, or live without it

Chorus:
Bbmaj7   F7
Holding, waiting
Dm                        Cm7
Will only turn you on the ones in the way
       Bbmaj7    F7
So you can't act content
Dm                             Cm7
And who's to say they're gonna push you away?
         Bb      Cm7         Bbmaj7      F
It means more to you than it does to them
         Bbmaj7 Cm7
So don't justify
Bbmaj7         Cm7   Bbmaj7
Living silent, under wraps

Interlude -x2-: Ebmaj7 F

Verse 2:
Bbmaj7                   Ebmaj7
I feel like I ran with a head start
           F7                    Bbmaj7
And you're only just starting to live
                                Cm7   F7
Got a lot to gain, and a lot to give


Bbmaj7                 Ebmaj7
And it breaks me up to think about
         F7                        Bbmaj7
'Cause I know that you don't wanna miss
                                 Cm7   F7
Anything at all, just because of this

Pre-Chorus:
      Cm7
Is it true?
                    Bbmaj7
You've been away so long
    Cm7
You withdrew
                     F7
And couldn't bear to talk about it, or live without it

Chorus:
Bbmaj7   F7
Holding, waiting
Dm                        Cm7
Will only turn you on the ones in the way
       Bbmaj7    F7
So you can't act content
Dm                             Cm7
And who's to say they're gonna push you away?
         Bb      Cm7         Bbmaj7      F
It means more to you than it does to them
         Bbmaj7 Cm7
So don't justify
Bbmaj7         Cm7   Bbmaj7
Living silent, under wraps

The moment that you tell them's
