Dm                             Bb 
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor, 
            C 
I say I thought you would be home. 
                  Bb 
You said you never would be gone. 
Dm                        Bb 
Every time I see the light not burning on the porch, 
           C 
I say I thought you would be home. 
                    Bb 
You said you never would be gone, 
         Dm-C-Bb-C 
But you are. 
      Dm-C-Bb 
You are.

Verse 2: 
 Dm             C                Bb 
Feeling overwhelmed, I take a dive 
       C                                      Bb 
To a once overfilled but now empty place to hide. 
     Dm                   C              Bb 
The day you turned on me is the day I died, 
             C 
And I've forgotten what it's like, 
                   Bb 
And how it feels to be alive. 

Verse 2: Lead 
"take a dive")       (Im Sinking...)

Dm                Bb 
Reach up to the sky. 
                             C 
When nothing seems to go right, 
                                    Bb 
When nothing seems to go right for me.
