The Longing

          C
It's the light you see underneath the door
         F
and the shadow of the footsteps on the floor
                                  G
the hang up call that you can't ignore
          C
it's the face you cross the room

that makes your heartbeat fast
         F
and the room reflection in the bottom of the broken glass
                     C
just like the night before

[short break]
    C
The noisy clock beside your bed
F                               C
even with the pillow wrapped around your head
C
the voice inside that won't shut up
                                 F   G     F
the pounding in your chest that just won't stop

C             G                F
 It's hard to lose the love we make
       C       G
can't take the longing
C             G               F
 We won't forget we might forgive
     C       G        C
we don't outlive the longing

          C
It's the time you spent at the mad in here
         F
as you can't go home where you have to face
             (G)                                         C
the stupid life half lived and the other half not worse living
         C
you turn on the light but it's still pitch dark
         F
and the writing on the wall is a question mark
     C
you don't know where and you don't know when
                                        F   G F
but if you'll ever have this strange to try again

C             G                F
 It's hard to lose the love we make
        C        G
can't take the longing
C            G              F
 We won't forget we might forgive
    C        G        F
we don't outlive the longing
    C
The wanting
      G
the needing
                    C                              F
the feeling of the reaching for the rest of your liiiiiiife

C              G               F
 It's hard to lose the love we make
       C         G
can't take the longing
C             G               F
 We won't forget we might forgive
    C        G        F
we don't outlive the longing
          C
