    Key: C
[Verse 1]
C               F
Please open the door
           G        
Nothing is different,
                    E
 we\'ve been here before
E7           Am
Pacing these halls
          F#m      
Trying to talk over 
     G       F G
the silence
    C           
And pride sticks
         F
 out its tongue
              G       
Laughs at the portrait 
              E
that we\'ve become
E7         Am
Stuck in a frame
          F#m    
Unable to change,
       G     F G
 I was wrong

[Chorus]
    C             F   
I\'m late, but I\'m here
       G
 right now
         E       E7
Though I used to be 

       Am           D 
romantic, I forgot 
      G
somehow
         F   G          C
Time can make you blind
      F       G    
But I see you now as
        E    
 we\'re layin\'
  E7     Am
 in the darkness
      D        G   
Did I wait too long
             F   G 
 to turn the lights 
      C   F G F G
back on?

[Verse 2]
C                F
Herе, stuck on a hill
          G         
Outsiders inside the
              E
 homе that we built
    E7           Am
The cold settles in
                 F#m  
It\'s been a long winter
       G          F
 of indifference
    G         C      
And maybe you love me,
            F
 maybe you don\'t
             G       
Maybe you\'ll learn to,
            E
 maybe you won\'t
E7          Am   
You\'ve had enough,
 but I won\'t give 
  F#m   G   F G
up on you

[Chorus]
    C        
I\'m late, but 
     F          G
I\'m here right now
        E           E7
And I\'m tryin\' to find 
     Am          
the magic that we 
  D        G
lost somehow
      F G          C
Maybe I  was blind
      F       G     
But I see you now as 
       E      E7  
we\'re layin\' in the
   Am
 darkness
      D        G   
Did I wait too long
             F   G
 to turn the lights

 for forgiveness?
          D       G   
Won\'t you tell me how?
F        G         C
 I can\'t read your mind
