[Intro]

[Verse]
D
  It's so hard to be without you 
G                              D
  Lying in the bed, you are so much to be without
G                               Asus2
  Rattles in my head that empty drum filled with doubt
Em                                     Asus2
  Everything you lose, the wisdom will find its way out
[Chorus]
Em
 Every night is lonesome
       D               C  G/B
And is longer than before
                   C          D    C G/B C
And nothing really matters anymore
[Verse]
        D
It's so hard to be without you
G                            D
   Used to feel so angry now only I feel humble
G                                    Asus2
   Stinging from the storm inside my ribs where it thunders
Em                               Asus2
   Nothing left to say or really even wonder
[Chorus]
Em
  We're like a book and
      D          C    G/B
Every page is so torn
               C          D    C G/B  C
Nothing really matters anymore

It's so hard not to call you
G                                 D
  Thunders in my bones out on the streets where I first saw you 
G                             Asus2
  Everything was new and colorful, it's gotten darker
Em                                  Asus2
  Everything's a lesson, things were brighter before
Em                              D    C G/B C

  Everyday I find another little thread of silver
G                                 Asus2
  Waiting for me when I wake some place on the pillow
Em                               Asus2
  And then I see the empty space beside me and remember
Em                     D            C    G/B
   I feel empty I feel tired I feel worn
               C          D     C G/B C
Nothing really matters anymore
