[Verse]

C               F
Please open the door
           G         
Nothing is different, 
                  E
we've been here before
E7           Am
Pacing these halls
          D/F#          G       F Em
Trying to talk over the silence
    C                    F
And pride sticks out its tongue
              G            
Laughs at the portrait that 
        E
we've become
E7         Am
Stuck in a frame
          D/F#   
Unable to change,  
      G    F Em
I was wrong
 
 
[Chorus]

    C             F          G
I'm late, but I'm here right now
         E       E7   Am      
Though I used to be romantic, 
     D  D/F#    G
I forgot    somehow  
         F   G          C
Time can make you blind
      F       G      
But I see you now as 
      E      E7     Am
we're layin' in the darkness
      D/F#     G            
Did I wait too long to turn 
    F   G       C      F G F Em
the lights back on?
 
 
[Verse]

C                F
HerΠ΅, stuck on a hill
          G         
Outsiders inside the 
             E
homΠ΅ that we built
    E7           Am
The cold settles in
                 D/F#        G          F
It's been a long winter of indifference
    Em        C       
And maybe you love me, 
          F
maybe you don't
             G        
Maybe you'll learn to, 
          E
maybe you won't
E7          Am          
You've had enough, but 
             D/F# G  F   Em
I won't give up   on you
 
 
[Chorus]

    C        
I'm late, but 
    F          G
I'm here right now
        E           E7  
And I'm tryin' to find 
    Am 
the magic that 
   D D/F#   G
we lost somehow
      F G          C
Maybe I  was blind
      F       G     
But I see you now as 
      E      E7     Am
we're layin' in the darkness
      D D/F#   G          
Did I wait too long to turn 
    F   G
the lights back on?

[Chorus]

    C             F           G
I'm late, but I'm here right now
         E          E7     Am
Is there still time for forgiveness?
          D D/F#  G   
Won't you tell me how?
F        G         C
 I can't read your mind
      F       G     
But I see you now as 
      E      E7     Am
we're layin' in the darkness
      D D/F#   G       
Did I wait too long to 
         F   G       C   F
turn the lights back on?
               G   E
I'm here right now
         E7         Am  D
Yes, I'm here right now
D/F#           G        F G
Lookin' for forgiveness
      C            F    
I can see as we're layin'  
         G
in the darkness
               E      
Yeah, as we're layin' 
E7     Am
in the darkness
      D    D/F#   G F        
Did I wait too long  to turn 
     G          C
the lights back on?
