[Verse]
 G               D
Making my way downtown
        A
Walking fast
A
Faces pass
              G  D
And I'm home bound
 
G               D
Staring blankly ahead
            A
Just making my way
         A
Making a way
            G  D
Through the crowd
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G D A
      And I need you
G D A
      And I miss you
G D A           G  A
      And now I wonder....
 
 
[Hook]
  G        D
If I could fall
A        G
Into the sky
G             D
Do you think time
      A       G
Would pass me by
       A         G
'Cause you know I'd walk
  G         D
A thousand miles
 
If I could
G     D   A
Just see you
G   D
Tonight
 
 
[Verse]
G                      D
It's always times like these
                A
When I think of you
 
And I wonder if you ever
G        D
Think of me
 
G                     D
'Cause everything's so wrong
             A
And I don't belong
 
Living in your
          G    D
Precious memories
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G D A
      Cause I'll need you
G D A
      Cause I'll miss you
G D A           G  A
      And now I wonder....
 
 
[Hook]
  G        D
If I could fall
A        G
Into the sky
G             D
Do you think time
      A       G
Would pass me by
       A         G
'Cause you know I'd walk
  G         D
A thousand miles
 
If I could
G     D   A
Just see you
G   D
Tonight
 
 
[Bridge]
    G  D
And I, I
A
Don't want to let you know
G  D
I, I
A
Drown in your memory
G  D
I, I
A
Don't want to let this go
G  D
I, I
G
Don't....
 
 
[Verse]
G               D
Making my way downtown
        A
Walking fast
A
Faces pass
              G  D
And I'm home bound
 
G               D
Staring blankly ahead
            A
Just making my way
         A
Making a way
            G  D
Through the crowd
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G D A
      And I still need you
G D A
      I still miss you
G D A           G  A
      And now I wonder....
 
 
[Hook]
 G        D
If I could fall
A        G
Into the sky
G             D
Do you think time
      A       G
Would pass us by
       A         G
'Cause you know I'd walk
  G         D
A thousand miles
 
If I could
G     D   A
Just see you...
 
 G        D
If I could fall
A        G
Into the sky
G             D
Do you think time
      A       G
Would pass me by
       A         G
'Cause you know I'd walk
  G         D
A thousand miles
 
If I could
G     D   A
Just see you
 
If I could
G     D   A
just hold you
G   D
tonight
