Tom: Gm
Gm Eb7
Doesn't it ever stay
F7 D7
Must it always fade away
Gm Eb7
Couldn't love ever be
F7 D7
Something tangible and real
Gm Cm Eb7
Farewell, fairweather friend
F7 D7
Abandonment returns to taunt me again
[Chorus]
Gm Cm F7
I only wanted you to stay
Bb F7 Gm
Linger and mean the words you said
Cm F7
Foolishly I romanticized
Bb F7
Someone was saving my life
Gm
For the first time
Cm A
I only wanted you to be there when I
D7 Gm
Opened up my eyes
[Verse 2]
Gm Eb7
I was caught in your masquerade
F7 D7
Wish I'd stayed beneath my veil
Gm Eb7
But it just seemed so easy to
F7 D7
Open up myself to you
Gm Cm Eb7
Once more into the wind
F7
The embers scatter
D7
And the chill settles in
Gm Cm F7
I only wanted you to stay
Bb F7 Gm
Linger and mean the words you said
Cm F7
Foolishly I romanticized
Bb F7
Someone was saving my life
Gm
For the first time
Cm A
I only wanted you to be there when I
D7 Gm
Opened up my eyes

Linger and mean the words you said
D#m G#7
Foolishly I romanticized
C# G#7
Someone was saving my life

The one to get me through the night
