The Longing

• C

          C 
It's the light you see underneath the door 
         F 
and the shadow of the footsteps on the floor 
                                  G  
the hang up call that you can't ignore 
          C 
it's the face you cross the room 

that makes your heartbeat fast 
         F 
and the room reflection in the bottom of the broken glass 
                     C 
just like the night before 

short break 
    C 
The noisy clock beside your bed 
F                               C 
even with the pillow wrapped around your head 
C 
the voice inside that won't shut up 
                                 F   G     F 
the pounding in your chest that just won't stop 

C             G                F 
 It's hard to lose the love we make 
       C       G 
can't take the longing 
C             G               F 
 We won't forget we might forgive 
     C       G        C 
we don't outlive the longing 

          C 
It's the time you spent at the mad in here 
         F 
as you can't go home where you have to face 
             (G)                                         C 
the stupid life half lived and the other half not worse living 
         C 
you turn on the light but it's still pitch dark 
         F 
and the writing on the wall is a question mark 
     C 
you don't know where and you don't know when 
                                        F   G F 
but if you'll ever have this strange to try again 

C             G                F 
 It's hard to lose the love we make 
        C        G 
can't take the longing 
C            G              F 
 We won't forget we might forgive 
    C        G        F 
we don't outlive the longing 
    C 
The wanting 
      G 
the needing 
                    C                              F 
the feeling of the reaching for the rest of your liiiiiiife 

C              G               F 
 It's hard to lose the love we make 
       C         G 
can't take the longing 
C             G               F 
 We won't forget we might forgive 
    C        G        F 
we don't outlive the longing 
          C 
Ohhh the Longing 
G C 
uhhhhh....
