E, A, F#m, Bsus4-B  
[Verse 1]
I Ecan?t get used to what you told me 
AYou said better brace yourF#mself
                       Bsus4-B  
There's changes coming in 
I Ewake up to a brand-new story
ATo the clock that's ticking on the F#mshelf
                  Bsus4-B  
Then let it all begin 
[Pre-chorus 1]
ANow I Bknow that I'm G#mright here where I C#mwas before 
AChasing Ball my ghosts aC#mround 
[Chorus 1]
EMaybe I Aworry what BI will Esay 
Now I'm Aonly 3 Bhours aEway 
[Verse 2]
ELiving in between the pages
AWatching the strangers come and F#mgo 
                         Bsus4-B
Just life that?s passing by
It Eall keeps coming down in stages
AOnly hurts the ones you F#mknow 
                   Bsus4-B  
No matter what you try 
[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh and Anow I Bknow that I'm G#mright here where I C#mwas before 
AChasing Bsongs from town to C#mtown
[Chorus 2]
EMaybe I Aworry what BI will Esay
Now I'm Aonly 3 Bhours aEway 
[Solo]
E, A, F#m, Bsus4-B  
A-G#m, F#m-E, F#m, Bsus4-B  
[Bridge]
ASome things they go too fast
G#mSome times aren't meant to last
                          A  Bsus4-B  
Turn away and then they're gone 
[Verse 3]
EI wake up to the red sky morning 
AI pray that the trouble all has F#mpassed
                      Bsus4-B  
Just something that I dreamed 
I Emust have missed all of your warnings
AI guess we played too F#mfast 
                    Bsus4-B  
Much closer than it seemed 
[Pre-chorus 3]
Oh and Anow I Bknow that I'm G#mright here where I C#mwas before
AMaking Ball my plans aC#mlone
[Chorus 3]
EMaybe I Aworry what BI will Esay 
Now I'm Aonly 3 Bhours aEway
AMaybe I Bworry what G#mI will C#msay 
Now I'm Aonly 3 Bhours aAway
