Intro: 
C      Am  F 
 
 
verse 1: 
C 
  For a while we pretended 
                     Am 
That we never had to end it 
                          F 
But we knew we'd have to say goodbye 
C 
 You were crying at the airport 
                              Am 
When they finally closed the plane door 
                        F 
I could barely hold it all inside 
 
 
 
C         G          Am 
Torn in two, and I know I shouldn't tell you 
    F                              C     G 
But I just can't stop thinking of you 
              Am      F 
Wherever you are, you, wherever you are 
C                             G                             Am  F 
Every night I almost call you just to say it always will be you, wherever you  
are 
 
 
C      Am  F 
 
 
verse 2: 
C  
 I can fly a thousand oceans 
                            Am 
But there's nothing that compares to  
                         F 
What we had and so I'll walk alone 
C 
 I wish I didn't have to be gone 
                      Am 
Maybe you've already moved on 
                          F 
But the truth is I don't want to know 
 
 
C         G          Am 
Torn in two, and I know I shouldn't tell you 
    F                              C     G 
But I just can't stop thinking of you 
              Am      F 
Wherever you are, you, wherever you are 
C                             G                             Am  F 
Every night I almost call you just to say it always will be you, wherever you  
are 
 
 
Bridge: 
Am                        F          C 
  You can say we'll be together someday 
                G 
Nothing lasts forever 
                   Am 
Nothing stays the same 
                        F          
So why can't I stop feeling this way 
 
 
C         G          Am 
Torn in two, and I know I shouldn't tell you 
    F                              C     G 
But I just can't stop thinking of you 
              Am      F 
Wherever you are, you, wherever you are 
C                             G                             Am  F 
Every night I almost call you just to say it always will be you, wherever you are
