[Opening]
[G#m]The space between where our [B]ends meet
[E]has grown too much for me to block it out
[G#m]I’ll miss the tone of your [B]heartbeat
[E]it’s such a warming and familiar sound
[G#m]I hope you’re [F#]finding the [B]power
[E]to help you make it through the darker days
[G#m]For now I’ll wait by the [B]hour
[E]if you wanna take somebody’s [F#]breath away

[chorus]
[B]I hope you’re lonely hope you’re lost [F#]’cause I’ve been
and I’d hate to think you’re better off [G#m]without me
I know we tried to hold on, but [E]where do you go

[chorus]
when love, it just ain’t enough?
[B]Now does it kill you when you think [F#]about me?
Were you as close to giving up as [G#m]I’ve been?
I know we kept losing touch, got [E]lost in the rush
but I [Em]pray you don’t hurt too [B]much

[Closing]
[G#m]I don’t come close to [B]an angel
[E]and you ain’t never been no kind of saint
[G#m]When we both [B]came together
[E]hell to heaven you were my escape
[G#m]But fires don’t [F#]burn [B]forever
[E]and all these ashes crumble when we touch
[G#m]We danced to death in the [B]fire
[E]What can we do now that the [F#]music’s done, my love

[chorus]
[B]I hope you’re lonely hope you’re lost [F#]’cause I’ve been
and I’d hate to think you’re better off [G#m]without me
I know we tried to hold on, but [E]where do you go

[chorus]
when love, it just ain’t enough?
[B]Now does it kill you when you think [F#]about me?
Were you as close to giving up as [G#m]I’ve been?
I know we kept losing touch, got [E]lost in the rush
but I [Em]pray you don’t hurt too much

[chorus]
[F#]Oh we had it [G#m]all, but we let it fall
[E]but I hope you find whatever you were looking for
[F#]Well we had it [G#m]all, but we let it fall
[E]lost in the rush, but I [Em]pray you don’t hurt too much

[chorus]
[B]I hope you’re lonely hope you’re lost [F#]’cause I’ve been
