Intro - solo over ||: C#m B A B A F#m C#m B A B :||
C#m B
I see the clock run down, I watch you look away
A F#m G#m B
But I never get used to it, at the end of the day.
C#m E
In a different world, in another life,
F#m G#m
The time would stop, and you'd stay all night.
A B C#m B
Sundown, and I'm feeling the strain
A G#m F#m
Can't you see it in the lines on my face?
C#m B A B A F#m
It's tearing me up, and breaking me down
C#m B A B
Every time you go, you're dragging my love around.
C#m B A B A F#m G#m
Maybe this once, better think twice.
A G#m C#m B A B A F#m C#m A B
Stay with me tonight - Stay.
C#m B
See the hours pass in the see-through heat
A F#m G#m B
As we ease down our defenses, and slip into this mystery.
C#m E
There's a world unknown, there's so much at stake
F#m G#m
As we search for away to make up for all this heartache.
A B C#m B
Sometimes, I feel I'm falling from grace
A G#m F#m
When every hour takes you farther and farther away.
(Chorus)
(solo - 1 verse)
(Chorus twice)

C#m B A B A F#m
It's tearing me up, and breaking me down
C#m B A B
Every time you go, you're dragging my love around.
