Em            Bm                             A
Your bitter goodbye is ringing through this quiet night,
                              Em
This idle hour just wont pass
                      Bm                               A
I've never missed you this much, never thought I would,
                                      Em
Didn't think you'd feel this far away
            Bm                        A
Your summer perfume is still blowing through this hallway,
                                 Em
Autumn's amber red shadows dance
                 Bm                 A
I miss our midnight rides on highway 18, 18 is gone

Chorus.
Em             Bm                  A       Em
So go past the lights and all the excuses
                    Bm                 A
You could have left "sincerely yours"
Em                    Bm            A
Don't you think it's obvious that I want to say more?
C#                           Bm
Cause anything too daring to say to you,


             A
       Will be said in this letter, then burn it away

So you never realize, I'm here

     C#
I'm thinking of your vague reply
    A
So I can understand
C#
Why we put this at rest
 A
Why we forget to
C#
Say that we were leaving
A
Say that I was sorry
C#
The past remains unspoken
        A
As this vacant night is dieing
Em                    Bm             A
But I still miss your summer perfume
                            Em             Bm
This cold air brings such a distance to us


          A
Such a painful distance
 C#
I'm still waiting for you to say you hate me now
           A
So I don't have to hold on to this burning heart

                       C#                     Bm
This burning heart is getting old, is getting old
       C#                                Bm
While sitting on this cold kitchen floor,

Head down to hide the tears,
A
I've realized. I’ve finally realized that you were never,
