[Opening]
[A]It’s my third cup of coffee, the fifth [E]time I said I’m sorry
The sun [Bm]slowly peaks in through the glasses, says [D]we’ve been up all night
[section 2]
We all [A]know where this is going, it’s [E]been a long time coming
[Bm]Is it really over, is [D]really goodbye
[E]Maybe I should say something, [D]maybe you change your mind
[E]Maybe maybe, buy a [Bm]little more time
[chorus]
But I got [A]nothing, no [E]magic words, to stop you [Bm]leaving
To [D]end this hurt, I’m just [A]blank, I’m [E]starring in a space
Prying, [Bm]please, please let me think of [D]something
‘Cause I got [A]nothing
[section 3]
[A]I watch you pack your things, you look [E]down at your ring
Slowly [Bm]slipping off and lying on our bed, maybe [D]I should peak it up
[A]And get down on my knees, tell you [E]what you want to hear
[Bm]And give you what you need [D]
[chorus]
But I got [A]nothing, no [E]magic words, to stop you [Bm]leaving
To [D]end this hurt, I’m just [A]blank, I’m [E]starring in a space
Prying, [Bm]please, please let me think of [D]something
‘Cause I got [A]nothing
[Closing]
You’re [F#m]almost at the door, and you’re [E]stopping to look around
You’re [D]eyes are bagging me, please [Dm]say something right now
