[Verse]
A F D
Ask me no questions and I'll tell you
D A F
I'll tell you no lies, when all’s said and done
D D
Does it really matter who's wrong or right?
Bb G
Don't ask me for a reason, I can't explain
D Bb G
Why hurt one other again and again and again
A F D
See while I'm bleeding I still, still reach for you
[Chorus]
G G C C G G D D B
Thousand days, thousand days, Have passed away
G G C C G G D D F#
Thousand days, thousand days, Were captured in her eyes

[Verse]
A F D
Your eyes are open now but you know
D A
It's still hard to see inside
F D D A
When the action and the intention are two separated things
D Bb G
Now I somehow wish I could explain
D Bb G
Why hurt one other again and again and again
A F D
Like someone's dying breath I still, still reach for you
[Chorus]
G G C C G G D D B
Thousand days, thousand days, Have passed away
G G C C G G D D F#
Thousand days, thousand days, Were captured in her eyes
[Bridge]

F# F# F# F# F# F# F# E E
F# Em F# Em F# Em F#
Forever we've been, trapped by our hearts, trapped by our minds
F# Em F# Em F# Em F# Em
So I'd like to leave, I'd like to win at love
F# Em
But I just can't let it go
F# Em
And I just can't watch it slipping away
F# Em
And I just can't let it go
F# F# F#
And I just can't stand another minute
[Verse]
A F D
May be now someday our shattered lives
D A
Will mend themselves again
F D D
Even now a million miles away, I still reach for you
Bb G D
And though I somehow know, I can't explain
D Bb G
Why hurt one other again and again and again
A F D
Like someone's dying breath I still, still reach for you
[Final Chorus]
G G C C G G D D B

G G C C G G D D
Thousand days, thousand days
