Lyrics

Here we lay

face to face

once a gain.

The si lence cuts

like a knife as we pre tend.

And I’m (Bb)won d’rin’ who will be the first to (C)say what we both know.

We’re just (Bb)hold in’ on to could have beens that we (Gsus)should be let ting go.

It feels like you’re a (A)mil lion miles a way

as you’re ly in’ (Gmaj9)here with me to night,

and I can’t e ven (A)find the words to say

I can find a (Gmaj9)way to make it right.

And we both know that the (A)sto ry’s end ing.

We play the part but we’re (Gmaj9)just pre tend ing.

And I can hide the (A)tears ’cause e ven though you’re (F6)here, feels like you’re a (G)mil lion miles a way,

a way, yeah.

Was it me, or was it you that broke a way?

From where we were, it’s like the sea sons, love has changed.

And ev ’ry (Bb)time I think a bout it,

it (C)tears me up in side

like the (Bb)riv ers of e mo tion, but I got (Gsus)no more tears to cry.

We can (Bm9)try to talk it o ver, but we (Dmaj7)walked that road be fore.

Boy, our (Gmaj7)song is playin’ its last note

and (Em7)we both know for sure

that it’s (C)time to close that door.

It feels like you’re a (A)mil lion miles a way

as you’re ly in’ (Gmaj9)here with me to night,

and I can’t e ven (A)find the words to say

I can find a (Gmaj9)way to make it right.

We both know that the (A)sto ry’s end ing.

We play the part, but we’re (Gmaj9)just pre tend ing.

And I can hide the (A)tears ’cause e ven though you’re (F6)here, feels like you’re a (G)mil lion miles a (D)way.

Hey,

yeah,

a (G)mil lion miles

a way.
