[Intro]  C7+  Am7

C7+                     Am7
Step from you car back into the real world
C7+                          Bm7
Can't hold your heat in the cold light of day
C7+                          Am7
I won't find the heart to accept that we're over
C7+                            Bm7       Em7
As long as you're there I can beg you to stay

                   Am7
You say that you need to talk later
       Bm7
But I can't hold it together
     Em7          A
So I call right away

            C    D
Letting me down gently

Is breaking my heart slowly
                   D
And this can't be better
               C
So just get it over
        B7        C     D
Cause holding on desperately
     Am7          Bm7     Em7
In fear that you might leave me
                 Am7
Is breaking my heart slowly
             Bm7

C7+               Am7
Chasing around have you twisted and stumbled
C7+                  Bm7
Losing your way to end up by my side
C7+                    Em7
Now you are ready to change your direction
