Are you far away A  D  F#m  G  
in a new lifAe?D  F#m  G  
Are you wearing the same dress that you wore 
when we met the first night?
Are you feeling it
in a different time?
Are you telling the same jokes that you told me 
when we met the first time?
   DThe first time how we slept with thAe light onEm  
And the sun's coming up and we woGke up on the floorD  
Everything that you feel that yAou can't describeEm  
Why can't it bGe like the first week?
Am I far away 
in your thoughts sometimes?
Are you telling your friends that you can't live without him 
like we met the first time?
Do you lie awake 
and wonder why?
Is it always the same thing or is this just a new dream 
that's keeping you up at night?
The first time how we slept with the light on
And the sun's comin up and we woke up on the floor
All the things that you feel that you can't describe
Why can't it be like the first week?
     EmAnd  I've been up aF#nd down your street calling yoDur houseEm  
DI won't wait up till you geEt home
DI just maybe better Aoff alone?G  
The first night how we slept with the light on
And the stars shine above and all our clothes are on the floor
All the things that you feel that you can't describe
Why can't it be like the first week?
