[Intro]
C#   C#  / G#   G# /  F#   F# /  C#  G#  F#   A#m

[Verse]
C#           
How are you, how have you been, it's sad these days I find  
    G#
We reveal ourselves at checkpoints not in true moments of life 
        F#
Now I wonder through the awkward pauses 
                                     C#
that became our new benchmark of time 
                G#             F#                              A#m
Ohhh There’s no name for this feeling that your absence has defined 

[Bridge]
G#  F#  A#m

C# 
Upon your bedside table lies the graveyard of romance
G#
An empty wrapper weighted by a jar of rocks from France
F#                                                                   C#
A necklace used to magnify your eyes the night I made the first advance
       G#            F#                                 A#m    G#  F#   A#m 
Ohh I did it just to break the ice it needn’t be enhanced 

[Solo]
C#   C#  / G#   G# /  F#   F# /  C#  G#  F#   A#m

[Verse]
C#
How are you, how have you been, I practiced on the drive
G#
I cross the square states in between us to see you alive
    F#                                                                 C#
I imagine at the first glance they would say if there was something to revive
      G#             F#                               A#m  
Ohh I got a room in Bozeman i had three days to arrive
