Em Eb (x2)

[Verse]
Em                           Eb                      C                         Bb    Am7
It's quiet now, and what it brings is everything
            Em                   Eb                        C                   Bb    Am7
comes calling back a brilliant night, I'm still awake
Em                          Eb                    C                            Bb    Am7
I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there
        Em                       Eb                          C                 Bb    Am7
you don't need me to tell you now, that nothing can compare

[Chorus]
G                                          D
you might have laughed if I told you
C                                          Am
you might have hidden the frown
        G                                        D
you might have succeeded in changing me
C                                        Am
I might have been turned around
      G                                  D
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
C                                  Am
leaving was never my proud
G                                    D
leaving New York never easy
C                              Am
I saw the life fading out

[Verse]
         Em                      Eb                     C                   Bb    Am7
now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take
         Em                Eb                     C                         Bb    Am7
the loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in way
        Em                                       Eb
and on our lost till in my eyes, shadow of necklace across your thigh
C                                                                    Bb                      Am7
I might have lived my life in a dream, but I swear... this is real
Em                                                           Eb
Memory fuses in shatters out glass, but carry your future, forget the past
             C                   Bb      Am7
but it's you, it's what i feel.

[Ulangi Chorus]

Em Eb
Em

[Bridge]
Em                                          Eb
you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
        Em                             Eb
you find it in your heart, change...
   G                             D
I told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
    C                                Am
I told you ,I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)
    G                            D
I told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
   C                                Am
I told you, I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)

[Ulangi Chorus]
