[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
                   C
So this is where I am
             C
Hangin' on a feelin'
                    F
Driving through the valley
        G                    C
 just to chase the pain again
                    C
So this is where we are
                    C
I should've seen it comin'
               F
Every time you say, "Goodbye,"
   G                  C
 I say, "Hello" again


[Chorus]
F                G
 I cried in your dark, brown
              Em
 eyes for the thousandth time
        Am       G
Did you love somebody?
F                G
 I died when you left that
               Am
night for the thousandth time
           C
'Cause you love somebody else
F      G
Yes, I tried to stop the door
           Em              Am      G
as it was closin', it was closin'
      F        G
Can't help the way I keep
                Am          C
ignorin' every omen, every omen
                F
Never knew that you'd let go
                    G
It's nothin' that I don't
              C
 already know

[Verse 2]
                   C
I kiss you on your neck
(Oh-na-na)
                        C
You were starin' at the ceiling
(Oh-na-na)
                      F
I shoulda known right then and
           G                  C
there you were gonna run away (Oh-na-na)
                     C
Oh, just make it go away (Oh-na-na)
                    C
Can you help me rearrange it? (Oh-na-na)
                 F
I'm still makin' sense of
        G                  C
having nothin' left to say
(Oh-na-na)

[Chorus]
F                G
 I cried in your dark,
                   Em
brown eyes for the thousandth time
        Am       G
Did you love somebody?
F                G
 I died when you left that night
          Am
for the thousandth time
           C
'Cause you love somebody else
F      G
Yes, I tried to stop the door
           Em              Am      G
as it was closin', it was closin'
      F        G
Can't help the way I keep
               Am          C
ignorin' every omen, every omen
                F
Never knew that you'd let go
                    G
It's nothin' that I don't
already know
