C Em Am F G
It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise.
C Em Am F G7
There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes.
C Em Am F G
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone,
C Em Am F G
And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come.
F G C Em Am
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you.
F G C C7
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know,
F G C Em Am
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
F G-G7
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
C Em Am F G
It seems a shame to leave you now, your lace is soft and warm.
C Em Am F G7
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms.
C Em Am F G
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile,
C Em Am F G
But other voices beckon me, and for a little while.
Am F C Am
I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know,
F G C
And some that aren't familiar with my name.
Em Am F C Em Am
It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand,
F G - G7
It's anyone who'll listen to me sing.
C Em Am F G
And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame?
C Em Am F G7
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same.
C Em Am F G
As it is the time we have is worth the time alone,
C Em Am F G
Lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known.
<Chorus>
