Verse1:
 
 B                     F# 
Sometime I feel these words are cheapened  
        C#                  C#          B-F#-C#-C# 
by the way they're said We do not mean them 
        B             F#              C#            C# 
From a million miles away, words are all I know to say,  
         B           F#         C#        C# 
so I am speaking  To you right now 
 
 
    F#                                  B 
So know I wrote this song with all the words  
                   Ebm                       B 
meaning what they mean And saying what they say 
              F#                           B 
Though it's nothing you haven't heard before,  
                Ebm                    B 
I mean it more today Believe me when I say 
                    F#      B 
I thank God I miss you  
                    Ebm     B  
I thank God I miss you 
  
Verse2:
 
              B                 F# 
We're from a hotel room and misunderstandings  
     C#          C#                     B      F#   C#  C#                   
my heart stands still And demands this candor 
       B                  F#                     C#         
Though my hands shake I remain unshaken for the part that's grounding 
           C#   B                F#           C#       C# 
Is oh-so shaken, and that's the way it should be
