[Verse 1]
     G
How long?
                            Em
How long must it go on this way?
                              G
You give me no choice but to stay
                    D          Em      C
There's no use in crying I'm dried up

   G
I try
               D         Em
I'm trying my hardest to be
             D            G
Exactly and all that you need
                 D          Em
I'm standing up tall do you see me

[Pre-Chorus]
C            D
You were the one
             Em
You were the one who picked me
C               D
What have we become
              Em
Now have we begun our ending

[Chorus]
G                         D
How do you know when it's over?
Em                          C
I have been withered since winter
G                          D
Waiting for love like it's water
    Em                   C
But I can't pretend any longer
G             D   Em
Tell me it's over 
            C    G
Love is it over now?
             D    Em   C
Tell me it's over

[Verse 2]
G
Please
                 D            Em
You told me that you'd never leave
                  D              G
Now our love has lost all it's leaves
                 D                 Em
The distance is worse when you're near me

   G
So go
                    D        Em
It's hurts more to fall apart slow
                D             G
To dream about warmth in the cold
                 D           Em
Now I'm nothing more than a whisper

[Pre-Chorus 1x]

[Chorus 1x]

[Bridge]
G/B - C                 D
  We made it all these years
G/B - C                 D
  And no they were not wasted
G/B - G - C       Em      D
      No life was lost right here
G/B - G - C       Em      D
      If love is what we tasted

[Chorus 1x]

[Ending]
G                         D
How do you know when it's over?
Em                        C
How do you know when it's over?
G                         D
How do you know when it's over?
Em                          C
I have been withered since winter
