[Verse 1]
A Bm/A A Bm/A A Bm/A A Bm/A
I can’t believe it’s true that you have to leave tomorrow
A Bm/A A Bm/A C#7
If you could stay for a couple more days I’d show you
A
All the things that I see
G#m7 D7 E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
What terrifies me in my life
[Verse 2]
A Bm/A A Bm/A A Bm/A A Bm/A
It’s seems like years since you or anyone else has been here
A Bm/A A Bm/A C#7
I’ve been waiting by this green dusty chair for so long
A
I don’t know who I am
G#m7 D7 E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
Or what has become of my life
[Chorus]
A A/F# A A/F# A
When did this happen?
Cmaj7 E A
What has become of my life?
[Verse 3]
A Bm/A A Bm/A A Bm/A A Bm/A
Come to think of it I’m not really sure I live here
A Bm/A A Bm/A C#7
It‘s kind of weird the way my feet don’t quite reach the red rug
A
That was laid on the floor
G#m7 D7 E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
To cover the scuffs by the window
[Chorus]
A A/F# A A/F# A
When did this happen?
Cmaj7 E A
What has become of my life?
[Bridge]
D Dmaj7
What did we do?
G
How’d we used to live?
Em A7 Bm
I can’t remember what we did.
D Dmaj7
What did we do?
G
How’d we used to live?
C E7 A
I can’t remember who we were.
[Verse 4]
A Bm/A A Bm/A A Bm/A A Bm/A
It might be true that I can not find a way to leave here
Bm/A A Bm/A C#7
Every time I try, I find myself back here, waiting by
A
The green dusty chair
G#m7 D7 E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
Trying not to look out the window
