Verse:

B              Emaj7

So this is how the story went

G#m            F#

I met someone by accident

E              B

who blew me away

G#m            F#

who blew me away

B                      D#m

It was in the darkest of my days

G#m                    F#            

When you took my sorrow and you took my pain

E                      B

And barried them away

G#m                    F#

you barried them away

Chorus:

C#m                    F#

And I wish I could lay down beside you

B                      G#m

When the day is done

C#m                    F#            G#m   G#5  G#m          

And wake up to your face against the morning sun

C#m                    F#

But like everything I've ever known

B                      G#m

you'll disappear one day

C#m                            F#             B  Emaj7   B Emaj7

So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away

Verse2:

B              Emaj7

I dropped you off at the train station

G#m            F#

And put a kiss on top of your head

E              B

I watched you wave

G#m            F#

I watched you wave

B                      D#m

Then I went on home to my skyscrapers

G#m                    F#

Neon lights and waiting papers

E                      B

That I call home

G#m                    F#

I call it home

Chorus:

C#m                    F#

And I wish I could lay down beside you

B                      G#m

When the day is done

C#m                    F#            G#m   G#5  G#m          

And wake up to your face against the morning sun

C#m                    F#

But like everything I've ever known

B                      G#m

you'll disappear one day

C#m                            F#             B  Emaj7   B Emaj7

So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away

Verse3:

B              Emaj7

I woke up feeling heavy hearted

G#m            F#

I'm going back to where I started

E              B

The morning rain

G#m            F#

The morning rain

B                      D#m

And you know I wish that you were here

G#m                    F#     

But that same old road that brought me here

E                      B

Is calling me home

G#m                    F#

Is calling me home

Chorus:

C#m                    F#

And I wish I could lay down beside you

B                      G#m

When the day is done

C#m                    F#            G#m   G#5  G#m  

And wake up to your face against the morning sun

C#m                    F#

But like everything I've ever known

B                      G#m

You'll disappear someday

C#m                            F#             B

So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away

C#m                            F#             B9   B

And I can't spend my whole life hiding my heart away
