Verse: 

Em                            C 
Staring at the bottom of your glass 
       D                             Bm 
Hoping one day you will make a dream last 
                Em               C          D 
The dreams come slow and goes so fast 
    Em                          C 
You see her when you close your eyes 
      D                           Bm 
Maybe one day you will understand why 
               Em           C         D 
Everything you touch all it dies

Verse: Alejandro 

Em                            C 
Staring at the ceiling in the dark 
         D                     Bm 
Same old empty feeling in your heart 
           Em                  C       D 
Love comes slow and it goes so fast 
         Em                      C 
Well you see her when you fall asleep 
                D                  Bm 
But to never to touch and never to keep 
                         Em 
Because you loved her to much 
                 C          D 
And you dive too deep
