Late For The Sky

C                             G
Oh the words had all been spoken,
            F                    C
But somehow the feeling still wasn't
 right,
Dm            Am        G       
and still we continued on 
       F     C
through the night.
Tracing our steps from the 
  G
beginning,
          F                 C
Until they vanished into the air.
Dm                       Am       
Trying to understand how our lives
G        F     C
 had led us there.


[Refrain]

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


[Verse 2]

        C                   G
Now for me, some words come easy
Continues after the ad
                F                  
but I know that they don't mean 
  C
that much,
Dm                 Am            
compared with the things that are
       G           F
 said when lovers touch.
C                        G
You never knew what I loved in you,
             F                 C
I don't know what you loved in me.
Dm                        Am     
Maybe the picture of somebody you
       G              F     C
 were hoping I might be.


[Chorus]

F                Am              
Awake again, I can't pretend and 
G    F       Em
I know I am alone.
    G           F  Am/E          
And close to the end of the 
             G C G
feeling we've known.
F                   C
How long have I been sleeping?
Dm                    Am         
How long have I been drifting 
G              F
alone through the night?
                    C
How long have I been dreaming I
     G7sus4              C
could make it right if I closed my 
eyes
             F                     
and try with all my might to be the
   Am
 one you need ...


[Chorus]

F              Am                 
Awake again, I can't pretend and I
 G    F      Em
 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?
Dm                   Am         
How long have I been drifting 
G               F
alone through the night?
F                    C
How long have I been running for
G7sus4                        
that morning flight through the 
   C
whispered promises
       F                     C 
in the changing light of the bed 
                G
where we both lie,
             C
late for the sky.
