[verse]
F6 F(#11)
Waking up is tough
C N.C.
The morning of the last day
F6 G G7 C
The curtain and the rising sun
F6 F(#11)
It’s never long enough
C N.C.
We always wish we could stay
F6 G G7 C
Can’t believe it’s actually done
[chorus]
C6 Ab6 C
But wait, we’ll never get back here again
C6 Ab6 C
But wait, I wanna memorize everything
F Bb7(b9) C
But it’s already fading away
[verse]
F6 F(#11)
Rolling down the hall
C N.C.
Calling for the taxi
F6 G G7 C
Waiting in the lobby chair
F6 F(#11)
Staring at it all
C N.C.
Holding hands in the back seat
F6 G G7 C
Can’t believe we’re actually here
[chorus]
C6 Ab6 C
But wait, we’ll never get back here again
C6 Ab6 C
But wait, I wanna memorize everything
F Bb7(b9) C
But it’s already fading away
[bridge]
Am7 Dm9
Back home, everything is smaller
Gsus4 G C
Smaller than it used to be
Am7 Dm9
Back home, everything’s been waiting
Gsus4 G C
Waiting here for you and me
Am7 Dm9
Back home, don’t unpack the suitcase
Gsus4 G C
Save it for another day
Am7 Dm9
Back home, everything’s familiar
Gsus4 G C
It’s like we never went away.
[chorus]
C6 Ab6 C
But wait, I wanna memorize everything
F Bb7(b9)
But it’s already fading
