C#m                     F#7
It might have been the maybe
C#m                     F#7
That crept inside my mind
F#m                     B4            C
It might have been the echoes of my heart
F#m                   B4     C
Sending shivers down my spine
C#m                      F#7
Soon you'll be pushin' daisies
C#m                 F#7
Then it'll be unclear
F#m                      B4            C
And it's too late for all your might have beens
F#m                     B4
And there's a reason you were here
C
Yeah, yeah

Made you feel so alone
F#m                             B4             B
There you stood Inside the wreckage of your dreams
F#m                    B
Barely able to make it home
