 G                         Bm
Here I go again I promised myself
             C
I wouldn't think of you today
           G                       Bm
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
               C
I still feel exactly the same

It's just that everywhere
I go all the buildings know your name
Like photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I can't move on

Chorus:
C                       D
Ever since you've been gone
                       C
The lights go out the same
                      D
The only difference is
                     Em
You call another name
To your love
        G/B     C
To your lover now
            D
To your love
                 G Bm C D
The lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love on these streets
I have given mine away to
a world that didn't want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
It's funny
I don't remember being chained
Nothing seems to make sense anymore
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late

Chorus

                         C   D
And as time goes by so slowly
                         C
The nights are cold and lonely
                D
I shouldn't be holding on
               C              G D
But I'm still holding on for you

Here I go again
I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
But I'm standing at your doorway
Calling out your name because I can't move on

Chorus
