How are you, how have you been, it's sad these days I find

We reveal ourselves at checkpoints not in true moments of life

Now I wonder through the awkward pauses

that became our new benchmark of time

G# F# A#m

Ohhh There’s no name for this feeling that your absence has defined

[Bridge]

G# F# A#m

Upon your bedside table lies the graveyard of romance

An empty wrapper weighted by a jar of rocks from France

F# C#

A necklace used to magnify your eyes the night I made the first advance

G# F# A#m G# F# A#m

Ohh I did it just to break the ice it needn’t be enhanced

How are you, how have you been, I practiced on the drive

I cross the square states in between us to see you alive

I imagine at the first glance they would say if there was something to revive

G# F# A#m

Ohh I got a room in Bozeman i had three days to arrive

[Outro]

G# F# A#m
