  			C               G 
Every day feels all the same 
Dm          Am    G 
9 to 5 gets so mundane 
C                         G                   F 
But something breaks with just one glimpse of you 


C                G 
I would stare so long awhile 
Dm                 Am      G 
Trying to tell you with my eyes 
C              G                   F 
I didn't say a thing I thought you knew 
         G 
I wish I never did assume, cos 
            C        G 
I was gonna tell you today 
                 Am            F 
I even wrote the words I would say 
                    C           G   Am   G   F 
I finally found the courage but now it's too far 
   G                C         G 
It took me all this time to reveal 
                Am                F 
What everything about you does to me 
           G                Am    G     F 
So tell my why did I keep a cover on my heart 
C                      G 
Spent all night trying to explore just 
Dm               Am G 
How I'd tell you I adore ya 
C                    G              F 
And how I'm moved by every word you say 
C                    G 
But today there's an empty space 
Dm                  Am        G 
I've found you gone without a trace 
C                    G            F 
I wish that I coulda told you yesterday 
      G 
Maybe then you would've stayed 

Chorus 

Dm               Am       G 
It feels like my point of existence  
Dm                Am         G 
Has vanished with you in the distance 
Dm          Am         G              F 
Whatever it takes I'll persist till I see your face again 

Chorus: (key change) 
            D        A 
I was gonna tell you today 
                 Bm            G 
I even wrote the words I would say 
                    D           A   Bm  A   G 
I finally found the courage but now its too far 
   A                D       A 
It took me all this time to reveal 
                Bm                G 
What everything about you does to me 
        A                Bm    A     G       A 
Tell my why did I keep a cover on my heart
