Bm                                
I've been thinking back to when we
 used to share a drink on midnight 
   F#m
walks.
                Bm            
When you'd pretend your winter 
breath was cigarette smoke in your 
   F#m
lungs.
                Bm                 
I'd fight the urge to give you all 
the worst advice about the ones you 
  A
liked.
( A )
(You called it chemistry, I called 
it earning bragging rights)
        Bm                         
Knowing damn well if I told you how
                         A
 I felt, I'd crack the ice.
Bm
Roll the dice.

              G           Em    
You're just a second away from 
Bm       A        G
being in love or alone.
Em        Bm       A             
What you don't know, is that each
 G          E          Bm        
 second you wait is a breath you 
      A            G        
don't take. It's a moment you 
       Em Bm A
wasted.


Bm                            
I've been thinking back to that 
night on your front step when I held
              F#m
 you as you wept.
We sat awhile in silence but I was 
                Bm
screaming in my head.

( Bm )
How to tell you, if I should...
                        F#m
What to say, if I even could...
( F#m )
And if that moment came, would it 
simply hang forever...

     D                             
So I always try to live vicariously
            F#m
 through my friends.
F#m
(You call it chemistry, I call it 
perfect timing instead)
D                                 
Watching all them fall in love, 
                      F#m    A
and wondering if I will again.

              G           Em    
You're just a second away from 
Bm       A        G
being in love or alone.
Em        Bm       A             
What you don't know, is that each
 G          E          Bm        
 second you wait is a breath you 
      A            G        
don't take. It's a moment you 
       Em Bm A
wasted.


G                         Bm
You're playing catch with 22.
G                 Bm
For once it's out you've got to 
choose.
G                    Bm
But if you choose to hold it in,
G                          D
then where's the chance to begin new
 love?
                 Bm
Who knows, maybe she's the one...
              Em      G
I bet there's so many more than just
 the one for all of us.


              G           Em    
You're just a second away from 
Bm       A        G
being in love or alone.
Em        Bm       A             
What you don't know, is that each
 G          E          Bm        
 second you wait is a breath you 
      A            G        
don't take. It's a moment you 
       Em Bm A
wasted.


     G        A          F#m    
Just falling asleep with you is 
Bm        Em
enough to keep me hanging on,
G          A   F#m     Bm       D
whether or not we ever evolve.
   G           A      F#m        
If all that we are is paint on a 
Bm     Em
wall, waiting to peel off,
     G          A        F#m      
then poison the well and pour me a
 Bm
 cup.
D
Drink up!
