I remember all the [Bm/E]moments

That I've [C/E]wasted in my [D/E]life

All the [G]things I was [Em/G]always gonna [Bm/G]do [G]

Why is it [Am]now [C/A]when it's too [Am]late

That I [Em]finally realise what's im[Em]portant to

me

To think that [Em/C]everything that's [D/C]dear to me

And is [Em/C]always in my [D/C]heart

Could [Em/D]so easily be [D]taken

And it's [C/D]tearing me a[D]part]

Going [Am]over and over in my [C/A]mind

I [Em]relive it one second at a time

Calling all [Am/E]stations [Esus2] [Esus2/B]

Can anybody [Bm]tell me, [D/B]tell me exactly where

I am

How [D/B]different things look when your [Bm/G]all on

your own [D/G]

Watching the darkness [C/A]closing all around me

All around [Bsus4]me [B] [Bsus2] [B]

And I [C]look for the [Csus2]feeling

Of your [C]arms to re[Csus2]mind me

Of [G]everything that's [Bm/G]dear to me

And is [Am]always in my [C/A]heart

Could [Bm/D]so easily be [D]taken

And it's [G5/D]tearing me [D]apart

Going [Am]over and over in my [C/A]mind

I [Bsus4]relive it one [B]second at a [Bsus2]time [B]
