[Intro]
C Am G#

[Verse 1]
C
I'm on your side, you're
                    G
nothing like anyone they
 said you were
Am
Too late in life, no one
 survives on their own,
  F
 we never learn
C
She's doing fine,
 treading
 the line, in between
  G
 darkness and light
        Am
Bet you know how it is,
that's how it is all the time,
 F
 day after night
C
Come for the ride, this golden
light never sets,
G
I hope you know
     Am
When I'm on the phone,
you're on the phone, all
         F
the time nobody's home

If you tell me where
you're going, we could go

Time after time, treading
the line,
         G
only destroy what we need
        Am
But you know how it is,
 that's how it is, all
       F
 of us caught a disease
C
Show me a sign, some golden rhyme,
               G
 distance gets further each day
Am
You're still alone, halfway
 from home,
                F
all the of time life drifts away

[Chorus]
           F
But if you tell me where
 you're going, we
      C
 could go with you
           F
And if you tell me
where you're
               C
going, we could go
with you
             Dm
This time tomorrow,
 we
      F
 could be there

C Am G#

[Bridge]
C                 G
Don't, don't go to sleep
               Am
There's nobody out there
          F
 waiting for me
     C
This light, it shows all
     G
 your scars
          Am
Walk in a straight line,
              F
 go back to your cars

[Chorus]
           F
And if you tell me
where
 you're going, we
     C
could go with you
           F
And if you tell me
where you're
 going, we could
   C
 go with you
             Dm
This time tomorrow,
            F
 we could be there
             Dm

          F
we could be there
