[Verse 1]
C F Please open the door
G E/G# E7/G#Nothing is different, we've been here before
Am DPacing these halls, trying to talk
Gsus4 G Gsus2 GOver the silence
 
[Verse 2]
C FPride sticks out its tongue
G E/G# E7/G#Laughs at the portrait that we've become
Am DStuck in a frame, unable to change
Gsus4 G Gsus2 GI was wrong
 
[Chorus 1]
C F GI'm late, but I'm here right now
E E7/G# AmThough I used to be romantic
D Gsus4 GI forgot somehow
Gsus2 GTime can make you blind
C F G But I see you now
E E7/G# AmAs we're laying in the darkness
D Gsus4 GDid I wait too long
Gsus2 G CTo turn the lights back on
 
[Instrumental]
C F G
 
[Verse 3]
C FHere, stuck on a hill
G E/G# E7/G#Outsiders inside, the home that we built
Am DThe cold settles in, it's been a long winter
Gsus4 G Gsus2 GOf indifference
 
[Verse 4]
C FMaybe you love me, maybe you don't
G E/G# E7/G#Maybe you'll learn to, and maybe you won't
Am DYou've had enough, but I won't give up
Gsus4 G Gsus2 GOn you
 
[Chorus 2]
C F GI'm late, but I'm here right now
E E7/G# AmAnd I'm trying to find the magic
D Gsus4 GThat we lost somehow
Gsus2 G CMaybe I was blind
C F G But I see you now
E E7/G# AmAs we're laying in the darkness
D Gsus4 GDid I wait too long
Gsus2 G CTo turn the lights back on

[Chorus 3]
C F GI'm late, but I'm here right now
E E7/G# AmIs there still time for forgiveness
D Gsus4 GWon't you tell me how
Gsus2 G C I can't read your mind
C F G But I see you now
E E7/G# AmAs we're laying in the darkness
