[Intro] (Piano chords)
Bbm  C#/Ab  C#/F#  Ab (ring)
 
            Bbm
If it's o-o-kay
     F#                  C#/Ab
I'll leave the bed light on
    F#               C#/F                  Ab/Eb (ring)
And place your water glass where i-it belo-ngs
                 Bbm
And if it's a-al-right
     F#           C#/Ab
I'll lie awake at night
    F#           C#/F              Ab/Eb (ring)
Pre-tending I am curled up at your side
 
[Guitar, strings and light percussion joins in, ring all chords]
        Bbm                  F#
See I'm circling in these pa-a-tterns
       C#            Ab
Living out of memori-i-ies
            Bbm                     F#
I'm still a long way from accepting it
             Absus4              Ab
That there's just no you-u and me
 
[More percussion and strings joins in]
         F#                   C#
But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me
Bbm              Ab
Maybe I'll survi-ive
     F#                       C#
So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home
            Bbm               Ab
Like you've done a million ti-imes
                 F#
And if it's a-al-right
     C#                 Ab
I'll still-ll be loving you
[Piano arpeggio from Bbm, guitar rings the same chords]
                              Bbm         F# Ab
'cause I can't break it to my-y  hea-a-art
 
[Drums and lead guitar arpeggio joins in]
             Bbm
Is it ju-ust me
    Ab             C#
Did I commit a cri-ime
  F#                 C#         Ab        F#         Bbm
I won't believe that loving you-u is just a waste of time
   F#              C#
Or was it in my he-e-ead
    F#           C#                      Ab
I'm reading into things that you neve-er said
 
[Guitar chord and piano arpeggio, ring all chords]
         Bbm                    F#
'cause I still don't have the a-answers
          C#                   Ab
To why we couldn't wo-ork it o-out
        Bbm                         F#
I wanna think it's something that I did
         Absus4         Ab
So I can turn it back a-round
 
[Backup joins in on 'stil-ll']
          F#                  C#

Maybe I'll survi-ive
     F#                       C#
So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home
            Bbm               Ab

I'll still-ll be loving you

[Piano arpeggio and backup harmony join in]
Bbm               Ab               Cm

C#             Ab                F#          Bbm          Ab

   F#            Bbm                Ab          Fm     F# (ring)
