Intro: G D Em C 

verse 1: 

G                 D               Em 
I'm tossing in my sleep trying to shut him up 
     C                    G 
With fevered dreams 
                D                    Em 
Its only been a week; a half hearted fantasy 
                  C            G 
Wondering what he sees in me 
                             D 
In our separate space we are idols from a higher place 
    Em                  C 
The beautiful ones that everyone wants 
           G                         D 
And I'd be happy to adore him from a distance 
    Em                          C 
But knowing he adores me from a distance 

 
           C 
Makes this hard 
        Em 
And its slow 
D                Em 
Longing for just one more moment 
C               D 
Knowing that he has to go 

        C 
And its false 
        Em 
And its weak 
        D             Em                  C                  D            C    A9 
There's nothing to be said now but in our silence we're both aching to speak 


verse 2: 
G                      D                     Em 
     This emotion frustrated confusion is it all an illusion 
       C                                    G 
Will I wake up to a harsh and empty space 
                     D 
His devotion lies in someone else's arms 
         Em 
And I am just an outsider 
C 
Trying to save face 


            C 
And its hard 
          Em 
And its slow 
D             Em 
Wanting to be all he wants 
C                  D 
Knowing that's not how it goes 

            C 
And its false 
           Em 
And its weak 
        D               Em                C                   D             Am 
There's nothing to be said now but in our silence we're both aching to speak 


Bridge: 
        Em                    C                         Dsus    D 
And I'm stronger than this, I've been through this before 
Am                Em                     C                          Dsus      D 
     But what's one more lesson when the stolen moments are worth living for' 


            C 
And its hard 
       Em 
And its slow 
D            Em 
Longing for one more moment 
C                D 
  Knowing he has somewhere to go 
  C 
And its false 
         Em 
And I'm so weak 
        D               Em 
There's nothing to be said now 
          C       D               C               D 
But in our silence we're both aching to speak
