Introduction:C9G6/BCEmC9G6/BCEm
C9G6/B I hear the clock, it's six a.m. CEm I feel so far from where I've been C9G6/B I got my eggs, I got my pancakes too CD I've got my maple syrup, everything but you C9G6/B I break the yolks, and make a smiley face CEm I kinda like it in my brand new place C9G6/B Wipe the spots off of the mirror, don't leave my keys in the door CD I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause
CD Dreams last so long GD/F#Em Even after you're gone CD I know that you love me GD/F#Em And soon you will see C You were meant for me DEm And I was meant for you (Natural Harmonics)
C9G6/B I called my momma, she was out for a walk CEm Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk so I C9G6/B Picked up a paper, it was more bad news CD More hearts being broken or people being used C9G6/B Put on my coat in the pouring rain CEm I saw a movie, it just wasn't the same C9G6/B 'Cause it was happy oh, I was sad and CD It made me miss you, oh so bad 'cause
CD Dreams last so long GD/F#Em Even after you're gone CD I know that you love me GD/F#Em And soon you will see C You were meant for me DEm And I was meant for you
CD I go about my business, I'm doin' fine GD/F#Em Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line CD Same old story, not much to say Em Hearts are broken every day
C9G6/B I brush my teeth, I put the cap back on CEm I know you hate it when I leave the light on C9G6/B I pick a book up, and then I turn the sheets down CD And then I take a deep breath, a good look around C9G6/B Put on my pj's and hop into bed CEm I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead C9G6/B I, I try and tell myself it'll all be alright CD I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
CD Dreams last so long GD/F#Em Even after you're gone CD I know that you love me GD/F#Em And soon you will see C You were meant for me DEm And I was meant for you
C Yeah, you were meant for me D and I was meant for C9G6/BCEm You ..............
