C G C
Along she came, with her picture,
G C
Put it in a frame, so I won't miss her,
G D
Got on a plane, from London; Heathrow,
C
It seems such a shame, yea..
[Refrão]C G
I feel her. Slipping through my fingers,
C G D
Now she's gone, I'm sleeping with the light on,
G D
And sharks swim through my veins now, that she's gone,
G D
I'm sleeping with the light on.
C G C
Heard she's engaged, but to her best friend,
G C
No ones to blame, here's where it all ends,
G D
And I feel the pain, 'cause I'm without her,
C
I feel the pain.
{Chorus}
C G C
I see the sight, with a different light,
G C
Words cannot describe the way I'm feeling,
Em
'Cause I've been searching in my head,
G D
For the words I thought she'd said,
C
For too long.
{Chorus x3}
