              Intro
=====
E5 A5 B5 x2
 
Verse
=====
         E5
I don't know
 A5           B5             E5
When it all began to simmer down
  A5         B5              E5
Suddenly I don't want you around
 A5    B5             E5
A-and I'm sitting here
      A5              B5             E5
I'm drowning in the worries and the fear
     A5             B5              E5
And now I wish it wasn't quite as clear
  A5      B5
'Cau-ause I am
 
Prechorus
=========
  A5             B5
Starting tough again now
  A5             B5
It disappears so fast
     A5                B5           E5
I'm waiting for the question to be asked
    A5             B5
And if you saw me now,
       A5           B5
You'd not be disappointed
  A5
So now I've gotten to a point
  B5
And I'm not ever coming back
  A5                                  B5
My mind's made up I'm staying for as long as it is taking to get
  E5                       A5       B5
Close to you, I wanna get close to you and
E5   A5        B5
  I need more time
             E5                         A5       B5
I wanna get close to you, I just want, close to you and
E5    A5        B5
  I'm not sure why
Repeat Intro
 
Verse (same E5 A5 B5 pattern)
=====
 
Sometimes I
I get up in the morning so surprised
It takes me some time to realize
Lately I, lately I
Have really wished that you were still around
Here to pick me up off of the ground
'Cau-ause I am
 
Repeat Prechorus
Repeat Chorus
 
Bridge
======
 
C5 G5 A5         I'm losin' it
D5 G5 C5 G5      Whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa
C5 G5 A5         Make me say
D5 G5 C5 G5      Whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa
C5 G5 A5   B5
 
    A5                                B5
My mind's made up I'm staying for as long as it is taking to
 
Repeat Chorus x2
