[Verse 1]
G
Where did all the feelings go,
Bm
what about that happy glow?
C                    Am
Was that so long ago when

we were first in love?

I didn't feel the change,
Bm
everything was still the same
C
And when that moment came,
Am       Em
I didn't know
G                   Bm
I miss the feeling, I
miss the light
C
But I got faith in something,
Am         D
I'll never give up the fight
G                  Bm
Why's it so heavy, this
heart of mine?
C
I lost the feeling,
Am         Em
I lost the time

G                      Bm
I'd like to shake your hand
     C

Am             D    G
Looks like you win again
         Bm               C
But this time will be the last
Am Em

I don't know how to do that

me the way we used to

G                           Bm
I'm taking the blame myself for
living my life in a shell
C
And now I'm breaking out,
Am           D
but will you still be there?
G
Let's say that love is blind,
Bm
let's say that time is kind
C
Let's say that it's
          Am       Em
not over 'til it's over
