Can't sAleep in the Dmaj7city, E6you're far Aaway
CigarAettes keep me sDmaj7kinny and my minE6d off the raiAn
Oh AsometDmaj7imes, sE6omeAtimes
Oh AsometDmaj7imes, sE6ometiAmes
FeAelings are dDmaj7istantE6, and I knoAw guilt by name
It Awas the harDmaj7dest tE6hing, watchAing you slip away
Oh AsometDmaj7imes, sE6omeAtimes
Oh AsometDmaj7imes, sE6ometiAmes
[Chorus]
Sometimes it Dmaj7happens feelings Edie
Whole years are Dmaj7lost in the blink of an Aeye
We once had it Dmaj7all but events consEpired
Oh someDmaj7timesA

[Chorus]
Sometimes it Dmaj7happens feelings Edie
Whole years are Dmaj7lost in the blink of an Aeye

Seasonal adDmaj7justments, stars realAign
Sometimes it Dmaj7happens feelings Edie
Oh someDmaj7timesA
