E F#m A
We drank bottled water together and talked business.
B
I think I played the right moves.
E F#m
You were lookin' over my shoulder,
A B
as I went through the motions of another night,
A E C# B F#m E
'cause I thought I knew who everybody was just by lookin' at them.
E F#m
and how tired I was from the past couple of weeks,
From the past couple of years.
A B
Well, it hit me all at once,
E
On a balcony overlooking nothing,
F#m
With snow falling all around,
A B
Well I, I called just to say "Goodnight".
C# B A E
And you hadn't done anything wrong,
C# B F#m
And know, really, really, it's me not you.
E F#m E
I can't believe how naive I was to think things could ever be so simple,
E F#m
And can you live with what you know about yourself,
A
When you're all alone, behind closed doors?
B
The things we never said, but we always knew were right there.
E
It's got me on my knees in a bathroom,
F#m
Praying to a God that I don't even believe in,
A B
"Well, dear Jesus, are you listening?
C# B A E
If this is the one chance that really matters,
C# B F#m
Well, don't let me fuck this up.
E F#m
If you'd told me about all this when I was fifteen,
E
I never would have believed it."
