[Verse]
 
C#                      Ab/C
I'm always assuming the worst
                             C#7
But you're going on none the less
                                    F#
And there's nothing to cushion your heart
       C#
Let it fall
 
C#                   Ab/C
Letters from further away
                      C#7
Keep pulling me close to home
 
And there's something to cushion
   F#      C#
My callous eyes
 
 
C#                           Ab/C       C#7
And I know that you hope for longer goodbyes
                 F#
Embracing for forever
                    C#
And falling in your eyes
        Ab/C       C#7  F# C#
In your eyes, your eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
C#      Fm        F#          C#             Ab
Pouring over photographs, I'm living in your letters
C#                       Fm
Breathe deeply from this envelope it smells like you
    F#         C#                        Ab
And I can't be without that scent, it's filling me
C#                  Fm      F#  C#  Ab
With all you mean to me, to me
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C#                         Ab/C
Continually failing these trials
                             C#7
But you stand by me none the less
                                     F#
And you won't let me sink though I'm begging you
    C#
I'm begging you
 
 
                         Ab/C
Phone calls from further away
                   C#7
And messages on my machine
 
But I don't ever tell you
     F#             C#
This distance seems terrible
 
 
                           Ab/C               C#7
There's no need to test my heart with useless space
                  F#
These roads go on forever
                    C#
They'll always be a place
    Ab/C       C#7   F# C#
For you, in my heart

   C#                         F#                   C#/F F# C#/F
So I'll hit the pavement it's gotta be better then waiting
    C#          F#              C#/F   F# C#/F
And pushing you far away 'cause I'm scared
   C#                       F#             C#/F   F# C#/F
So I'll take my chances and head on my way up there
       C#                     F#                       C#/F F# C#/F C#
'Cause turning to you is like falling love when you're ten
