Verso 1:
C 
Are you really gone? 
          F 
Were you hanging on 
        C                  F 
For at least as long as I had? 
         C 
Tried to talk to you 
          F 
Make sure it was cool 
         Am                G            F 
But your car was gone when I got out of bed 


F                  C 
I hope they let me surrender 
F                     C 
Maybe they'll take me instead 
G 
Oh there's 
F                         C 
Something that I need to tell you 
Am                G           F 
But I'm afraid to talk to you again 
Am G 

Verso 2:
C 
Another short response 
F 
To a monologue 
C                             F 
My voice shakes like a broken tape 
C 
Are you actually alive? 
F 
Did you kind of just 'survive?' 
Am               G                      F 
I kind of always thought that you might stay 


F                  C 
I hope they let me surrender 
F                     C 
Maybe they'll take me instead 
G 
Oh there's 
F                         C 
Something that I need to tell you 
Am                G           F 
But I'm afraid to talk to you again 

Ponte:
G 
So what 
C                       F 
What if the last time I saw you 
Am                             G 
Was the night before you left New York? 
C                           F 
And what if the next time I need you 
Am 
It's all shut off? 
G 
It's all shut off 
F 
It's all shut off 

Am G F 


F                  C 
I hope they let me surrender

Maybe they'll take me instead 
G 
Oh there's 
F                         C 
Something that I need to tell you 
Am                G           F 
But I'm afraid to talk to you again 
Am             G           F 
I'm afraid to talk to you again
