Capo on second fret.

[Verse]
G                       C              D
She falls asleep with a picture in her hand
G                         C                 D
All that day nothing went anything like she planned
C           D
It’s almost dawn
C                 D
The light’s still on
       C                       D                      G
By the half-full glass and the telephone on the night-stand


[Verse] 
    G                C                  D
She sits up when she thinks she hears a sound
  G                   C                D
A truck pulled in the driveway to turn around
C              D
In the morning air
C              D
There’s no one there
    C                 D                Gmaj7
She turns back to the picture she just found


[Chorus]
Gmaj7               C  D 
I can’t believe how fast
Gmaj7               C  D 
I can’t believe how fast


[Verse] 
    G                 C                 D
The sun slants in the kitchen above the sink
    G                 C                D
She never should have had that much to drink
C              D
Turn the radio on
C              D
Turn the radio off
C                   D                  Gmaj7
All this time takes less time than you think


[Chorus]
Gmaj7               C  D 
I can’t believe how fast
Gmaj7               C  D 
I can’t believe how fast

[Bridge]
    Em Am7       D6
And I still miss you
Em Am7       D6
I still miss you
 

[Verse]
  G              C              D
A closet full of books he never read
  G                C                   D
A suitcase full of maps underneath the bed
C                      D
She takes her nightgown off
C                     D
And puts her day-face on
C                           D                    G
And the mirror fogs up from everything she never said.


 
[Chorus]
Gmaj7               C  D 
I can’t believe how fast
Gmaj7               C  D 
I can’t believe how fast

[Bridge]
    Em Am7       D6
And I still miss you
Em Am7       D6
I still miss you
