Most of the song can be played with simple strumming, however, the familiarity lies in
beautiful melody that can be picked.  That melody is the introduction and should be
in the beginning and once more before the last verse.
 
Tuning: EADGBe

Cadd9             G6
I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
C                  Em
I feel so far from where I've been
Cadd9                    G6
I got my eggs.  I got my pancakes too
C                     D
I got my maple syrup, everything but you
Cadd9                     G6
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
C                     Em
I kinda like it in my brand new place
         Cadd9                                   G6
Wipe the spots off of the mirror don't leave the keys in the door
C                            D
I never put my towels on the floor anymore 'cause…
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C           D
Dreams last so long
G    D            Em
Even after you're gone
C           D
I know that you love me
G        D        Em
And soon you will see
C
You were meant for me
    D               Em   Em
And I was meant for you

Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk so I
Cadd9                     G6
Picked up a paper, it was more bad news
C                           D
More hearts being broken or people being used
Cadd9                 G6
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
C                     Em
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same

Hearts are broken every day

I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
C                         Em
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
  Cadd9            G6
I pick a book up.  Turn the sheets down.
C                        D
Take a deep breath and a good look around
