[Intro]
G, Bm/F#, Cadd9, D
[Verse]
G Bm/F# Cadd9 D
Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
G Bm/F#
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
Cadd9 D
I still feel exactly the same
G Bm/F#
It's just that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name
Cadd9 D
Like photographs and memories of love
G Bm/F#
Steel and granite reminders
Cadd9 D
The city calls your name and I can't move on
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
Ever since you've been gone
Cadd9
The lights go out the same
D
The only difference is
Em
You call another name
To your love
Bm/F# Cadd9
To your lover now
D
To your love
G Bm/F# Cadd9 D
The lover after me
[Verse]
G Bm/F#
Am I all alone in the universe?
Cadd9 D
There's no love on these streets
G Bm/F# Cadd9 D
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway
G Bm/F#
So this is my new freedom
Cadd9 D
It's funny I don't remember being chained
G Bm/F#
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
Cadd9 D
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
Ever since you've been gone
Cadd9
The lights go out the same
D
The only difference is
Em
You call another name
To your love
Bm/F# Cadd9
To your lover now
D
To your love
Cadd9 D
The lover after me
[Bridge]
Cadd9 D
And as time goes by so slowly
Cadd9
The nights are cold and lonely
D
I shouldn't be holding on
Cadd9 D G Bm/F# Cadd9 D G Bm/F# Cadd9 D G
But I'm still holding on for you
[Pre-Chorus]
G Bm/F# Cadd9 D
Here I go again, I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
G Bm/F#
But I'm standing at your doorway
Cadd9 D
I'm calling out your name because I can't move on
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
Ever since you've been gone
Cadd9
The lights go out the same
D
The only difference is
Em
You call another name
To your love
Bm/F# Cadd9
To your lover now
D
To your love
Cadd9
The lover after me
D
Ever since you've been gone
Cadd9
The lights go out the same
D
The only difference is
Em
You call another name
To your love
Bm/F# Cadd9
To your lover now
D
To your love
G Bm/F#
The lover after me
Cadd9 D G
The lover after me
