Bm                                                                                                                                                                                         F#m  
I've been thinking back to when we used to share a drink on midnight walks.
                                          Bm                                                                                                                                    F#m  
When you'd pretend your winter breath was cigarette smoke in your lungs.
                                          Bm                                                                                                                                                 A  
I'd fight the urge to give you all the worst advice about the ones you liked.
( A )
                     Bm                                                                                                                                    A  
Knowing damn well if I told you how I felt, I'd crack the ice.
Bm  
Roll the dice.
                                     G                            Em         Bm                 A                    G  
You're just a second away from being in love or alone.
Em                    Bm                 A                                    G                         E                         Bm                                    A                              G                                      Em  BmA  
What you don't know, is that each second you wait is a breath you don't take. It's a moment you wasted.
Bm                                                                                                                                                                                                              F#m  
I've been thinking back to that night on your front step when I held you as you wept.
                                                                                                                                        Bm  
We sat awhile in silence but I was screaming in my head.
 Bm)  
How to tell you, if I should...
                                                                F#m  
What to say, if I even could...
 F#m)  
And if that moment came, would it simply hang forever...
             D                                                                                                            F#m  
So I always try to live vicariously through my friends.
F#m  
(You call it chemistry, I call it perfect timing instead)
D                                                                                                                                                 F#m         A  
Watching all them fall in love, and wondering if I will again.
                                     G                            Em         Bm                 A                    G  
You're just a second away from being in love or alone.
Em                    Bm                 A                                    G                         E                         Bm                                    A                              G                                      Em  BmA  
What you don't know, is that each second you wait is a breath you don't take. It's a moment you wasted.
G                                                                 Bm  
You're playing catch with 22.
G                                            Bm  
For once it's out you've got to choose.
G                                                    Bm  
But if you choose to hold it in,
G                                                                    D  
then where's the chance to begin new love?
                                             Bm  
Who knows, maybe she's the one...
                                     Em              G  
I bet there's so many more than just the one for all of us.
                                     G                            Em         Bm                 A                    G  
You're just a second away from being in love or alone.
Em                    Bm                 A                                    G                         E                         Bm                                    A                              G                                      Em  BmA  
What you don't know, is that each second you wait is a breath you don't take. It's a moment you wasted.
             G                    A                         F#m         Bm                    Em  
Just falling asleep with you is enough to keep me hanging on,
G                         A      F#m            Bm                 D  
whether or not we ever evolve.
        G                            A              F#m                    Bm            Em  
If all that we are is paint on a wall, waiting to peel off,
             G                         A                    F#m                 Bm  
then poison the well and pour me a cup.
D  
Drink up!
