[Verse 1]

C                       G
Oh the words had all been spoken,
F                      C
But somehow the feeling still wasn't right,
Dm              Am           G           F       C
and still we continued on through the night.
                            G
Tracing our steps from the beginning,
F                C
Until they vanished into the air.
Dm              Am           G              F           C
Trying to understand how our lives had led us there.

[Refrain]

F              G             Am           G                F                              Em
Looking hard into your eyes, there was nobody I'd ever known.
G/D                      F            G
Such an empty surprise to feel so alone.

[Verse 2]

C                     G
Now for me, some words come easy
F                                  C
but I know that they don't mean that much,
Dm             Am              G                F
compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
C               G
You never knew what I loved in you,
F                       C
I don't know what you loved in me.
Dm            Am              G          F           C
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be.

[Chorus]

F           Am      G              F              Em
Awake again, I can't pretend and I know I am alone.
G             F             Am/E          G           C              G
And close to the end of the feeling we've known.
F                   C
How long have I been sleeping?
Dm            Am                G           F
How long have I been drifting alone through the night?
                           C
How long have I been dreaming I
G7sus4                      C
could make it right if I closed my eyes
F                                           Am
and try with all my might to be the one you need ...

[Chorus]

F             Am             G             F          Em
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?
Dm               Am                G       F
How long have I been drifting alone through the night?
F                         C
How long have I been running for
G7sus4                    C
that morning flight through the whispered promises
F                   C                        G
in the changing light of the bed where we both lie,
              C
late for the sky.
