I still reach for you, in the middle of my dreams each night
E E7 A Am
But my arms come up empty every time

And lately I talk to your memory more than I should

If I could just forget the past I would
Am A B7
'Cause this missing you ain't doing me no good

I'm so close to crazy, right on the edge

Just one step away from going insane, but I'm not there yet

If I could just lose my mind, I wouldn't know we're through

But this close to crazy, is far from over you

E E7 A Am
Today I caught myself, reliving how it used to be
E E7 A Am
At a table for two just you and me
E E7 A Am
But talking to an empty chair and laughing right out loud

Turned everybody's head and left no doubt
Am A B7
I'm a broken woman close to breaking down

I still reach for you
A Am E
In the middle of my dreams each night
