D Bm G
Brace yourself your life's about to change, how you don't even know
D Bm G
But change is hard to deal with when all I feel is how I miss you now
Bm A G
As you sit there crying on the phone
D Bm G
It's funny how a goodbye is the only way to really say I love you.
D
And love that's shared is love that's spared
Bm G
from every inch of soil between us now.
Bm A G
Places a time when I don't know how
D G
Oh the simplicity to piece together all I've been shown
D G
But I don't know how it feels to have every piece of me crying to go home
D G
Oh that feel went away and the pleasure falling asleep next to you
D G
And the weight of the crime when we know that we do not know what to do
Bm A G
As you sit there crying on the phone
Bm A G
As you sit there wishing yourself home
