[Verse]

E C#m A

I wasn't sleeping at all

E C#m A

When I saw you leaving

E C#m A

Kept thinking I should've called

E C#m A

But you wouldn't see it

E C#m A

I'm up way too late again

E C#m A

Thinking 'bout what you said

E C#m A

And how maybe you were trying to stall

E C#m A

But I walked right into the fall

E C#m A

Hoping you'd mean it

[Chorus]

B C#m E A

Oh now we're too far down for closure

B C#m E A

No, can't you hear me now it's over

About it, oh

[Verse]

E C#m A

I left my heart for the road

E C#m A

Cause I didn't need it, yeah

E C#m A

She wanted my flesh and bones

E C#m A

And I let her keep it

E C#m A

And I am the one to blame

E C#m A

For what's left of me has changed

E C#m A

There's nothing I would ever show, yeah

E C#m A

Nobody knows what she knows

E C#m A

And I got some secrets

[Chorus]

B C#m E A

Oh now we're too far down for closure
