It's three in the morning you're nowhere in sight, 
                Db/Eb                       Ab 
And all that I wanted was to be with you tonight. 
                       Ab                 Db/Ab 
I've watched love get closer and then fade away, 
                Db/Eb                                    Ab 
I've seen you believe in me, I've seen you're trying to stay.

But what good is holding on     when you know, 
        Bbm7               Eb       Ebm7  Ab 
That all you can think about is letting go.

They say if you love someone    then set them free, 
                Bbm        Ab/C 
If they'll come back again then in the end,

  It was meant to be.

I guess when reality steps in the dreaming ends. 
                 Ab    Ab/C 
We live for the future, 
                   Db 
We learn from the past.

No matter how hard we try some good things never last.
