[Verse 1]
G#m D#m
I've been thinking back to when we used to share a drink on midnight walks.
E F#
When you'd pretend your winter breath was cigarette smoke in your lungs.
G#m D#m
I'd fight the urge to give you all the worst advice about the ones you liked.
(You called it chemistry, I called it earning bragging rights)
E F#
Knowing damn well if I told you how I felt, I'd crack the ice.
F#
Roll the dice.
[Chorus]
B C#m G#m
You're just a second away from being in love or alone. (What you don't know)
B G#m E
Is that each second you wait is a breath you don't take. (It's a moment you wasted)
[Instrumental]
G#m D#m E F#
[Verse 2]
G#m D#m
I've been thinking back to that night on your front step when I held you as you wept
E
We sat awhile in silence but I was screaming in my head
F#
How to tell you, if I even could when that moment came.
G#m D#m
So I always try to live vicariously through my friends
(You call it chemistry, I call it perfect timing instead)
E F#
Watching all them fall in love, and wondering if I will again
[Chorus]
B C#m G#m
You're just a second away from being in love or alone. (What you don't know)
B G#m E
Is that each second you wait is a breath you don't take. (It's a moment you wasted)
B C#m G#m
You're just a second away from being in love or alone. (What you don't know)
B G#m E
Is that each second you wait is a breath you don't take. (It's a moment you wasted)
[Instrumental]
G#m D#m E F# G#m D#m E F#
[Chorus]
B C#m G#m
You're just a second away from being in love or alone. (What you don't know)
B G#m E
Is that each second you wait is a breath you don't take. (It's a moment you wasted)
B C#m G#m
You're just a second away from being in love or alone.
B G#m E
Is that each second you wait is a breath you don't take.(It's a moment you wasted)
[Outro]
B C#m G#m
You're just a second away from being in love or alone.
B G#m E
Is that each second you wait is a breath you don't take.
