[Intro]
A F#m A F#m

[Verse 1]
A            F#m
I don't know what you wanna hear
A
Things change in course,
 F#m
 smiles fade to grin
A
Now the moment's gone,
  F#m
just as I feared
          D
And I was hoping, and
              E        A F#m
I was hoping this time
A               F#m
No longer here, we were
feeling bliss
A                       F#m
Don't hold your tongue, there's
no time for tricks
A
You've been closing up,
  F#m
I expected this
          D
But I was hoping that
                 E
 you'd stay open this time

[Chorus]
A                  F#m
I know it won't be long
A                    F#m
I know you're almost gone
     D
Hold on, let me in before
      Bm
 the day is over
     D
Just let me in before
     Bm
the day is over

[Verse 2]
A                   F#m
Say something soon, we might
lose it all
A                    F#m
Something we can use to
break our fall
A                          F#m
There's nothing left to do when
 we start to stall
          D
And I was hoping that
                  E
 we could hold it this time
