Verse:
C# Bbm
Lately I have had this strangest feeling,
Ebm Ab
With no vivid reasons here to find
Ebm Ab
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging,
C#
round my mind
C# Bbm
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume,
Ebm Ab
With you say, "No special place to go"
Ebm Ab
But when I ask will you be coming back soon,
C# C#6
You don't know, never know.
[Refrão]

Well, I'm a man of many wishes,

I hope my premonition misses,

but what I really feel, my eyes won't let me hide,

cause they always start to cry
Bb Ebm Fm F#m G# C#
Cause it's time could mean goodbye
Verse:
C# Bbm
Lately I've been staring in the mirror,
Ebm Ab
very slowly picking me apart

Tryin' to tell myself I have no reason,
C#
with your heart
C# Bbm
Just the other night while you were sleeping,
Ebm Ab
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
Ebm Ab
But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping,
C# C#6
you just say, nothing's changed
[Refrão]
