Still Here (Even When I'm Not) (Acoustic)

[Intro] D#m  C#  B  G#m

           D#m                      C#
I see your shadow in the glow of my screen
         B                         G#m
Another day gone, another space in between
                   D#m                 C#
We laugh through a signal, cry through a call
              B                       G#m
But nothing replaces the warmth of it all
                D#m
The world keeps spinning, but I feel stuck
           C#
Like I'm chasing time and running out of luck
               B
But you're the thread I never let unwind
      G#m
Still tied to your heart, still holding the line

[Refrão]

           D#m                 C#
I'm still here, even when I'm not
              B                         G#m
You're still mine, no matter how far the clock
                   D#m
Ticks and pulls at the time we've lost
                          C#
But love don't fade, and hearts don't rot
                B        G#m
Every mile is a war we fought
                 B          C#            D#m
And we're still here, even when we're not

              D#m                        C#
I talk to the stars like they know your name
                B                    G#m
And whisper to silence just to stay sane
                  D#m                      C#
I count down the days, but they move like glass
             B                       G#m
So slow, so sharp—but they always pass
                          D#m
I've got your voice in a worn-out song
                  C#
And memories that keep me strong
                   B
No ocean, sky, or state of mind
                    G#m
Could ever pull you off my spine

[Refrão]

          D#m                 C#
I'm still here, even when I'm not
              B                           G#m
You're still mine, no matter how far the clock
                   D#m
Ticks and pulls at the time we've lost
                        C#
But love don't fade, and hearts don't rot
                B       G#m
Every mile is a war we fought
                 B          C#            D#m
And we're still here, even when we're not

                   D#m
So scream into the dark, I'll hear you still
           C#
Across the static, across the chill
           B
This isn't distance, it's just delay
      G#m                      D#m     C#
We'll cash in every lonely day
     B   G#m
Every day
         D#m            C#
I'm not gone. I'm just away
                 B
But I promise I'll come back
           G#m
And I'll stay

[Refrão]

          D#m                 C#
I'm still here, even when I'm not
              B                           G#m
You're still mine, no matter how far the clock
                   D#m
Ticks and pulls at the time we've lost
                        C#
But love don't fade, and hearts don't rot
                B       G#m
Every mile is a war we fought
                 B          C#
And we're still here, even when we're not

( D#m  B  C#  B  G#m )

            B           C#       D#m
Every "goodnight" that hurts to say
              B         C#        D#m
Just means "I love you" more each day
