Late For The Sky

C                           
Of the words that all've been 
  G
spoken,
            F                   
somehow the feeling still wasn't 
 C
right,
F            Am        G        
and still we continued on 
      F     C
through the night.
Tracing our steps from the 
  G
beginning,
          F                 C
till they vanished into the air.
F                        Am       
Trying to understand how our live 
G          F     C
had let us fail.

F            Am                  
Looking hard into your eyes, 
      G      F        G
there was nobody I'd ever known.
              F        Am         
Such an empty surprise to feel so 
G
alone.

        C                   G
Now for me, some words come easy
                F                  
but I know that they don't mean 
  C
that much,

F                 Am             
compared with the things that 
      G           C
they say when lovers touch.
C                        G
You'll never knew what I loved in 
you,
             F                 C
I don't know what you loved in me.
F                        Am      
Maybe the picture of somebody you
      G                 F     C
 will hope that I might be.

F              Am                 
Awake again, I can't pretend and I
 G         C G
 know I am alone.
    F            Am               
And close to the end of the 
        G C G
feeling we've known.
F                    C
How long have I been sleeping?
F                    Am         
How long have I been drifting 
G               C
alone through the night?
F                    Am
How long have I been dreaming I
G                        C
could make it right if I close my 
eyes
        F                          
and try with all my might to be the
 Am
 one you need ...

F              Am                 
Awake again, I can't pretend and I
 G         C G
 know I am alone.
    F            Am               
And close to the end of the 
        G C G
feeling we've known.
F                    C
How long have I been sleeping?
F                    Am         
How long have I been drifting 
G               C
alone through the night?
F                    Am
How long have I been running for
G                             
that morning flight through the 
             C
whispering promises
       F                     C 
in the changing light of the bed 
                G
where we both lie,
             C
late for the sky.
