Intro: Am C F C

Verse 1:
Am          C                F          C
How do you know which time might be the last?
Am            C            F        C
What I would give just to see you again
    Am           C           F           C
I'd walk to the depths of a world down below
       Am          C              F             C
And demand to get back what some circumstance stole

Pre-chorus:
            Am        C            F             C
I still remember the last look of hope in your eyes
       Am          C            F          C
Oh, I wish I had stayed just a little while

Chorus:
       Am                    C             F
But I opened the door and I went down the stairs
         Am                           C              F
I turned back one last time just to prove you were there
           Am                       C           F
You said, "If you can see me, it's all in your head"
             Am                       C          F
But it feels real to me now, it felt real to me then

Interlude: Am C F C

Verse 2:
 Am         C          F           C
How do you know which memories to save?
         Am         C              F       C
Like the very last footprint that Orpheus made
           Am           C         F       C
'Cause the last ray of sun made Eurydice cold
            Am              C
And did she know? Did she know?
         F             C
Did she know? Did she know?

Pre-chorus:
            Am        C            F             C
I still remember the last look of hope in your eyes
       Am          C            F          C
Oh, I wish I had stayed just a little while

Chorus:
      Am                    C             F
But I opened the door and I went down the stairs
         Am                         C               F
I turned back one last time just to prove you were there
           Am                      C           F
You said, "If you can see me, it's all in your head"
             Am                       C            F
But it feels real to me now, it felt real to me then

Bridge:
   F       C        G         Am
If I knew how it'd feel back then
   F        C     G      Am
I wouldn't take another step
    F        C                Am
I'd hold the moment 'til the end
               F     C  G  Am
But everything ends
           F    C  G
Everything ends

Chorus:
       Am                    C             F
But I opened the door and I went down the stairs
         Am                           C              F
I turned back one last time just to prove you were there
           Am                       C           F
You said, "If you can see me, it's all in your head"
             Am                       C          F
But it feels real to me now, it felt real to me then
           Am                    C           F
It feels real to me now, it felt real to me then
