Verse 1
Am C
Like shining oil, this night is dripping down
Dsus2 Am
Stars are slipping down, glistening
C
And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving now
Dsus2 F
No deceiving now, It's time you let me know
Dsus2 E
Let me know
[Refrão]
Am C G6
When the lights go out and we open our eyes, out there in the silence, I'll be gone.

I'll be gone

Let the sun fade out and another one rise, climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone.

I'll be gone.
Verse 2
Am C
The inbetween us is getting thinner now
Dsus2
Into winter now, bittersweet.
Am C
And across that horizon, this sun is setting down
Dsus2 F
You're forgetting now, it's time you let me go
Dsus2 E
Let me go.
Chorus
Bridge:
F Dsus2 Am
And tell the lie I couldn't tell myself

And tell the lie was alone.
F Dsus2 Am Dsus2 C
Oh tell me I am the only one

And there's nothing left to stop me.
[Refrão]
