1ST VERSE:

A           E        G
I've been tryin' to call you tonight
D      C#m            Bm      E
No one home, guess I lose
 A             E        G
And I've been dyin' to see you again
 D           E               A      Asus4   A
Don't know where, can't say when


CHORUS:

 D          E              A
And in the moment that it takes to come between us
 D            E                 A
Time lifts a hand to wave good-bye
           C#m                         D
And in the moment that it takes to realize just what we had
            G              D               E
That's the moment that it takes to pass us by


2ND VERSE:

A           E         G
I've been cryin' to sleep every night
 D       C#m              Bm       E
Reachin' out, you're not there
 A             E        G
And I've been dyin' to hold you again
D       E     A               Asus4   A
  As a lover,  as a friend
