Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound 
 
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Cadd9 G D
          And I need you 
Cadd9 G D
          And I miss you 
Cadd9 G D           Cadd9 D
          And now I wooo-nder.... 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   Cadd9   D    G        Cadd9
If I could fall into the sky 
             D          G       Cadd9
Do you think time would pass me by 
                D          G        Cadd9
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
           Em  Cadd9 D         Cadd9 D G x2 (Intro riff)
If I could just see you, tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me 
 
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories
 
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Cadd9 G D
          And I need you 
Cadd9 G D
          And I miss you 
Cadd9 G D           Cadd9 D
          And now I wooo-nder....

If I could fall into the sky 
             D          G       Cadd9
Do you think time would pass me by 
                D          G        Cadd9
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
           Em  Cadd9 D
If I could just see you, tonight
